        Bergen Museum of Art & Science Presents

The Museum is temporarily closed and undergoing change. We are no longer located at the Bergen Mall.  Our lease expired and we are currently in search of a new building and a new location for the museum. We now have a new Board of Directors and have recently added several new members, including a new Chairman of the Board, Dr. James Waldron. Some of our future plans and goals include art classes at various levels, science and math workshops, interactive exhibits, chess classes/tournaments, etc. 

For a current list of our Board Members, click on Directors on the Main Menu in the left column. Please keep checking our web site for our re-opening and new location.

For more information, call 201-739-2380 or send email to Bergen Museum

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.
