Overview:
Dynamic Earth: Revealing Nature's Secrets The Newark Museum is home to a state-of-the-art Planetarium, Mini Zoo and an 83,000 specimen Natural Science Collection, which is the basis of the Dynamic Earth: Revealing Nature's Secrets Gallery. Created to help young people and adults interpret and understand the natural world, this engaging exhibit features interactive and multimedia displays that make the natural sciences come alive. In addition, the Museum offers a wide variety of hands-on science education opportunities for young people.
Living Collection - The Mini Zoo The Mini Zoo is home to more than 100 live animals representing 43 exotic and domestic species. Adults and children can learn about each animal and its natural habitat through interactive, self-guided visits and a variety of fascinating drop-in programs offered every weekend.
Alice and Leonard Dreyfuss PlanetariumThe Alice and Leonard Dreyfuss Planetarium features a state-of-the-art Zeiss ZKP3 star star projector, providing an out-of-this-world experience through which adults and kids can learn about astronomy and space travel. The Natural Science CollectionThe Natural Science Collection is a significant component of The Newark Museum's educational activities, including holdings in zoology, botany, and geology.
The founding collection, bequeathed to the Museum by Dr. William Disbrow in 1922, contained more than 74,000 examples of rocks, minerals, and pressed plants. The Museum's holdings have been augmented over the years, and today specimens from all over the world comprise the ornithology, entomology and shell collections; a reference herbarium is the repository of several rare New Jersey plants, among many others; and over 20,000 rocks, minerals and fossils.
