Sailing Off the Cape by John R. Grabach, Watercolor on paper, ND, Morris Museum Permanent Collection.
Visual Arts at the Morris Museum

The Morris Museum presents quality exhibitions that are mission-based and constituency driven. This programming includes permanent and changing exhibitions in several galleries. The museum’s Education Department develops thematic programs for presentation by professional museum educators at gallery talks, exhibition programs, group tours and workshops.

Philanthropic funding provides extraordinary exhibitions that are presented in the museum’s galleries. The Morris Museum offers traveling exhibitions, which are on display at the museum for a designated period of time. Funding also helps maintain and preserve a permanent collection as well as augment the collection. Through the visual arts, the museum promotes dynamic connections between artists and the community. Each year, museum exhibitions include New Jersey artists.

Permanent and changing exhibitions curated by the Morris Museum interpret the following collections: contemporary art; American art; decorative arts from the 18th and 19th centuries; American Indian history, art and crafts; material culture; and geological specimens.

Numerous high visibility exhibition and media opportunities are available. Inquiries should be addressed to the Advancement staff: 973.971.3732 or 973.971.3705.
