🖼️ Did you know? In 1909, The Newark Museum of Art was one of the first museums to exhibit everyday objects, radically transforming the way people experience art. Proposed by our founder, John Cotton Dana, this innovative approach democratized the museum experience and became a model for major institutions like the Met and MoMA. In this video, William A. Peniston, our Librarian & Archivist, shares how this revolutionary idea continues to shape our mission today. This #GivingTuesday, your support helps us preserve this legacy and continue making art accessible to all. Plus, we have a special thank you gift waiting for you when you donate!
