About Newark Attractions & Activities

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of Newark city life is its commitment to the art and culture. The city is home to several museums such as the Montclair Art Museum, filled with the creations of John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol and others. Housed in a historic mill, the Hunterdon Museum of Art features a permanent collection of painting and prints and frequently hosts visiting exhibitions of contemporary works that range from drawings to sculpture to photography. In addition, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center draws notable concerts and events to Newark. For those more interested in exploring the area's natural resources, several picturesque public parks, including the Great Falls and Branch Brook Park are easily reached from Newark.
