New Jersey’s museums often get overshadowed by the world-famous ones right across the Hudson River, but there’s something great about that – it means more space to explore these hidden gems without massive crowds! We actually have a surprising number of world-class museums in the Garden State, and the largest museum in New Jersey can be found in the heart of its largest city. The Newark Museum of Art is in the middle of the city’s business and dining district, and is walking distance from the city’s massive train station. That means it’s an easy destination for a family day trip – and there is enough to see in this sprawling destination to take up a full day of exploring. It’s filled with modern and historic art exhibits, ancient artifacts from around the world, and a host of rotating exhibits. If you want, you can even visit the attached Dreyfuss Planetarium to leave the confines of Earth and explore the stars.
