Montclair Art Museum – Virtual Tour

The Montclair Art Museum opened in 1914 as the first museum in New Jersey with public access and the first dedicated solely to art.

Its collection of more than 12,000 items are dedicated to American art and Native American art forms, as well as contemporary art.

The American collection comprises paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, and sculptures dating from the 18th century to the present.

The museum’s holdings of American Indian art and artifacts represent the cultural achievements in weaving, pottery, wood carving, jewelry, and textiles of indigenous Americans.

The American Indian art is mainly from the regions of Northwest Coast, California, Southwest, Plains, Woodlands, Southeast, and the Arctic.
