Bergen Museum of Art & Science Presents
The Museum is temporarily closed and undergoing change. We are no
longer located at the Bergen Mall. We are trying to locate a new
building or large enough space to house our entire art collection,
fossils, artifacts, sculptures and many other treasures.
We are also seeking to add new
candidates to our current board of directors which currently has
only 5 senior members. We also need volunteers once we get our
museum back in business.

We need to get operational again and
get a location where we
can hold small exhibits and have student art classes, summer art camp,
science & math camp, chess classes, etc,. We will eventually need to
include and to showcase our Mastodon collection
and our large collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures.
We now have a new Board of Directors
including a new President and Chairman of the Board, Dr. James
Waldron. As stated previously, we are currently looking to expand our Board of Directors and
are seeking highly qualified candidates to fulfill some of our vacant
positions, including a new curator.
Gail Zavada, who dedicated her time at
the Bergen Museum of Art & Science helping and teaching children at
our summer camps how to paint and draw, passed away suddenly last
year.
Please
go here for her memoriam.

We are currently looking for a
temporary location to display our Doll House Collection which consists
of a miniature village and colonial mansion house, circa 1800's.
We will put the collection on loan for the duration of the exhibit,
which could be somewhere between 6 months to a year. To view a picture

Road Runner
Renowned
sculptor, Jim Gary, has lived and worked in New Jersey all of his
life. He grew up in Colts Neck and has always remained based in
central Jersey -- but the world became his market. Part of the Bergen
Museum collection included Mr. Gary's sculpture “road runner”. His
work is represented in the collections of many corporate,
institutional, and private collections.
Jim Gary has been featured on a myriad of domestic television programs
-- by Walter Cronkite, Public Broadcasting, Christopher Reeves, the
California Academy of Sciences, and many others.
Jim Gary is the recipient of numerous awards, including the N.J.
Governor's "Pioneer Award" and the New Jersey Educators Association
"Art Educator of the Year" on two different occasions.
What makes this dynamic artist so different? For one thing, he's a
"self made" artist who overcame his early indifference to education.
He shares with others his experiences on the journey from street
artist to world class traveling museum exhibitor. He challenges his
audience to 'see' things differently, to think and use the imagination
and most importantly perseverance. For more information, visit the
official web site for sculptor Jim Gary maintained by Kafi Benz:
