        Bergen Museum of Art & Science Presents

The Museum is currently undergoing change. We have recently added new members to the Board of Directors which now has a total of nine members. The backgrounds and Bio's of all our members can be seen under the Directors link on the main menu in the left column of page. The current list of Board Members can be found here.

We will be holding our next meeting in early January 2010 and should have more news to post to our our web site at that time. We are working very hard to find a new location for the Museum.  Some of our future plans and goals include art classes at various levels, science and math workshops, interactive exhibits, chess classes/tournaments, etc.

Stay Tuned.......Good things are planned :-)

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 of the Colonial Mansion House go here. To see the press release describing this collection go here.

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.

Stefan Knapp is best known for his vibrant enamel murals which can be seen in a large number of museums and public buildings throughout the world. The Bergen Museum plans to display his work soon in Bergen County. Knapp is pictured to the left creating the famous "Alexander" mural in an airplane hanger in England.

        The finished mural (60ft X 200ft) is pictured below.
