nj arts maven: HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE MORRIS MUSEUM

Happy New Year!

This year has brought tremendous changes in how we gather and visit museums. Thanks to your commitment, we've been able to continue sharing our art and performance with all our visitors.

Looking back, we had many great moments from launching New Jersey’s only Smithsonian Spark!Lab to starting our new partnership with Art in the Atrium. We have a lot to reminisce about and we will be posting highlights from the past year on Facebook and Instagram.

Thank you for the amazing support you've given us in 2021 and Happy New Year!

—Your friends at the Morris Museum
