New Jersey Collects: A Cabinet of your Curiosities at the Morris Museum
Visit the Morris Museum from 10/29/15 through 2/7/16 for our exhibit on the unique and fascinating collections of passionate people in NJ.
Museums began as Cabinets of Curiosities in the mid-16th century. They were places for people to display all sorts of wondrous, exotic, and exquisite objects gathered from throughout the world. The Morris Museum also started as a Cabinet of Curiosities in 1913, when Mrs. Aldus Pierson began collecting artifacts and specimens from all over the world as a means to educate children at the Morristown Neighborhood House about various cultures and the sciences. Join the Morris Museum as we present a modern day Cabinet of Curiosities, featuring the unique collections of passionate people in New Jersey.
