Since 1895, the New Jersey State Museum has been landmark institution in New Jersey. This Mercer County fixture has brought exciting developments in science, anthropology, and natural and industrial history to the state capital–offering a fascinating and educational experience to visitors of all ages.

 

The planetarium stands as one of the key features of the museum: a beautiful space in which to explore the mysteries of the galaxy. The planetarium offers shows for toddlers and adults alike–from “One World, One Sky,” a journey from Sesame Street to the edge of the galaxy, to “Stars,” an awe-inspiring exploration of a star’s life through its many phases.

 

Now through May 29, 2011, visit the New Jersey State Museum to see “I Am the Cosmos,” an intriguing look at cosmic art curated by Sara Lynn Henry. Work from artists including Alice Aycock, David Hardy, Amy Cheng and Barbara Takenaga explores stars, comets and galaxies, using the great strides in knowledge our society has made in the past century. Influenced by recent understandings of shape and movement, this work represents a new way of looking at ourselves and our universe.
