Montclair Art Museum

Founded in 1914, the Montclair Art Museum is one of the nation's leading institutions dedicated to both American and Native American art. Through art, MAM creates experiences that inspire, challenge, and foster community — collecting, exhibiting, and interpreting the creative accomplishments of a diverse range of artists, past and present.
