Dear Museum-goer,

The New England region has an amazing number of museums, ranging from art to science to history to children’s museums and a few in-between. They range from all volunteer organizations to those with multi-million dollar budgets. So, what do they have in common? They’re all here to delight, entertain and educate you with exciting stories and treasured objects.

Let your imagination soar with this list of more than 400 NEMA member museums and their current exhibitions. For your convenience in planning your visit, we’ve provided links to the museums’ home pages when available.
