the MONMOUTH MUSEUM For over 50 years the Monmouth Museum has offered changing art, history and science exhibitions in four separate galleries and the new Meyer Art & Nature Area, providing a destination for creative expression and lifelong learning. Imaginative and informative exhibitions in the Main and Nilson Galleries present a wide variety of art in all media. The WonderWing and Becker Children’s Wing feature hands-on, interactive exhibitions that provide fun learning experiences for children and their families. Ancients to Astronauts: How We Communicate, the current exhibition in the Becker Children’s Wing, explores the subject of communication through four different interactive areas. Experience weather and learn how weather reports are broadcast, travel to ancient Egypt in a time machine and visit a mummy’s tomb, blast off into space in a Friendship 7 space capsule and make a craft from recycled materials in the popular Green Arts Studio. Children ages 6 years and under will have a magical undersea learning experience in the WonderWing, a permanent exhibition on the sea and the creatures that make it their home. Children have plenty of opportunities for fun—exploring a pirate ship, climbing inside a lighthouse, playing in a kelp forest, performing in a Tiki theatre, and sliding through the mouth of a whale! An ongoing schedule of films, planetarium shows and story times provides special activities for our young visitors. Educational programs at the Museum include guided tours, lectures and workshops, bus trips and themed craft activities and demonstrations.
