Great small museum in Morris County. Nice variety of exhibits. Figure about an hour visit.

Great experience, the tour guide made it much more interesting for the younger crowd relating old technology (the automatons and music boxes) to todays technology.

Thank you so much Ms Nina. You are the best thank you for a lovely wedding venue. It was fabulous thank you.

PROS: Inexpensive, great location, interesting exhibits, best gem & mineral collectionCONS: Broken exhibits, broken elevatorMy large family and I spent about 3 hours here on a Tuesday afternoon during the Passover break. As soon as we got there, the docent told us there would be a live demo (the only one of the day) where they would play some of the large music boxes in the collection. This was really not a good presentation for smaller kids, since there was a lot of talk and not so much action. However, they do have a hands-on kids lab where you can create some punch paper music for a box.My kids and I particularly enjoyed the train exhibits. The larger train exhibit downstairs actually had buttons that controlled various features in the large and detailed model train.The gem and mineral collection is excellent, one of the best Ive seen in a smaller museum. They had many large specimens that the children enjoyed touching and learning about.The only negative thing I can say about this museum is that many of the listening exhibits in the music box collection were broken. In addition, the elevator was broken, necessitating leaving our stroller downstairs whilst we perused the upstairs exhibits.Theres no food here, only a few snacks for purchase in the gift shop. The gift shop had many affordable items for both children and adults.I would definitely visit this museum again.

Ive only been one time and it was a very fun few hours! Very cool interactive model train village, awesome rocks, gems and minerals collection and the graffiti exhibit was cool too!!

Great little museum. Where else can you find a rock collection, trains, graffiti art and colonial painting all under one roof?! Just to name a few things that were on display. Quite a diverse collection. We were there to see a special exhibition of art work by young adults with intellectual disabilities. It was fantastic!

Nice quiet museum with a good variety of eclectic beautiful art.

Cute place with fun exhibits. The trains, music machines, and the Leipzig exhibit were all neat.

It was a great experience with my child and her classmates as a school field trip! The museum is little but in the inside its full of inspirational art and exhibits. I would go back. I recommend you check it out with kids.

Nice exhibits, though geology display needs updating and dinosaur exhibit needs some repairs.

I recently visited the Morris Museum for the Toothpick World Exhibit. The exhibit was incredible. We were able to visit on a pay as you wish night (second and third Thursday of the month from 4 PM to 8 PM). The museum is generally only open until 5, so these late hours allowed us to come by after work and check out this limited time exhibit. We have done the same in the past for the lego exhibit. Definitely recommend checking out their high profile temporary installations!

This was so interesting and fun, I haven’t been to a museum in years and this trip made me want to start going to more again!

A place to go visit again and again. The miniature train town is a great surprise. The mix of styles of art shown in this museum let you to go on discovery every time you step in. A must is the vast collection of antique automatas, some of them made so long ago and with an unique exquisite refined craftsmanship that leave you jaw dropped. Some of these automatas are put on working under a demonstration by the conservator in charge of this collection, on a timely schedule that happens weekly, I presume.

A great little museum. A lot of interesting exhibits and an affordable entry price of $10. If you’re looking for things to do, especially with children, I recommend this museum!

Fantastic galleries and exhibits. A wide range of topics that are fun to people both old and young. Well worth the 10 dollar admission

To give the illusion that they are supportive of the military they provide a discount to only ACTIVE military personnel. What a joke. Most active members are in no position to visit the museum because they are somewhere else! By EXCLUDING veterans, it proves they have no genuine interest in providing military discounts that might actually be used. In short, misleading and hollow-hearted

I love this museum. Just the right size and not crowded. Interesting displays .

It was filled with interesting and interactive exhibitions that really anyone of any age would enjoy. I highly recommend a visit and give the visit about 3 h so you have time to see it all

There are not many things to do in Morristown sometimes and hence, this place is recommended.The staff was very friendly. This place has preserved many natuve American history artifacts. They have a dedicated section for music lovers which also explains the science behind it.There is a small dinosaur fossil section and a miniature version of a city (Morris). I personally loved this section. There were trains and bussbrunning around which kept a lot of visitors excited.

Great museum in general. We went to the Steam Punk exhibit. I think there is a new version starting soon. Very inventive.The New Jersey minerals exhibit is permanent and fascinating. For those who like model trains, they moved it from the basement into a larger space. They have a permanent automata and music box exhibit.

Nice modern museum. They gave grafitti art, trains, Stones, art etc all under one roof. Ill definitely go there again.

One of the coolest small museums Ive ever been to. There isnt an overwhelming number of exhibits which is actually kind of nice since it gives you time to look more in-depth at what they do have.

Great indoor place for the entire family. They have great art exhibits here that are constantly changing. They also have art classes here for kids and adults hosted by laurie harden. My kids truly have developed in their art skills since taking her classes every summer and winter. The classes are super reasonable as well. Sign up fast space is limited for these classes.

Interesting exhibits for adults and kids.

A great place to visit with family! Its not big, but very interesting museum.

Loved it ..beautiful muesuem..check it ou

Amazing little museum not far from Patriots path. Rotating exhibits and good for kids

If you are music lover then this place gives an holistic journey of various instruments ....

Nice little museum in a very accessible location. Small theater hosts live performances as well.

Little bit of everything.The Curator deserves a cookie and a gold star. Plenty of stuff for children such as trains and dinosaurs. Plus enough to entertain us adults. Steampunk now, rock and roll. Incredible mix all presented very thoughtfully.

The Morris Museum has been around since I was a child... The display of music boxes and automatons was absolutely spectacular... There was two large rooms of student art and photography... The steam punk hardware display was very interesting... Only two displays of steam punk fashion... Was hoping for more... One star off because the elevator to the first floor was still out of order after months... So wheel chairs can not see that display... Also the ultraviolet room in the gem area is not wheelchair accessible... The other is the model railway area is only open on the third weekend of the month... That was one of the 3 displays I came to see... I understand staffing issues, but only one weekend a month... Im sure there are plenty of rail fans out there that would volunteer to keep it open more often.. Overall we had a good visit... We will be back again

Love, love, love, ! Great museum the whole family of all ages will enjoy,!

Clean and well lit, with ample parking., The museum has a good variety of permanent and temporary installations . If you have the time and are in the area its definitely worth checking out.

Really wonderful place for my young kids. The model train room by itself would have been enough entertainment! There was also a dinosaur exhibit and musical instruments. Plus a whole exhibit on fire fighting. We went on a free night and I would go back and pay admission. Great museum!

Buy tickets online. We finished it an hour.

Unique and informative. Excellent venue for events as well. Rich history and always friendly staff.

This was a great family friendly museum in Morris County. While they have lots to offer in terms of variety, my favorite part of the museum was the automatica! They were so strange and so intriguing. I especially loved the videos of them performing whatever little movements they were designed to make.

The museum is extremely friendly. Meaning it isnt too big. We got there at 2pm, just in time to listen to a guide give a music demo, wandered around the whole museum at a casual pace and we enjoyed the model train display they had for the holidays. All this took us 2 hours. Parking is easy and free. Bathrooms were readily available and elevators too. Kid friendly. Enjoyed our visit.

Great museum, had something that interest all family members. All ages.

Great top quality museum. Now under the umbrella of the Smithsonian Museum.

A very nice place to your kids or grandkids i went my jobs and my patients today had great time

Great Museum, line was a tad long but still great experiance!

The morris museum does not have many attractions but they do have many unique attractions like street art to music to amazing NJ history and more its a place where it tells you alot about morristown it shows its creative side of NJ

Absolutely beautiful place

Tons of awesome automata on display when I went. Unfortunately, some of the equipment wasnt working properly on the tour portion, but the rest of the tour was great. Get to the tour 10 min early to get a good seat.

Heard a world class string quartet and saw an excellent photography exhibit and excellent graffiti exhibit.

What more could you ask for?

Really cool little museum. Make sure not to pass by the glass door in the room after the lobby; thats the best part! The automata collection is amazing! They often have tours and will play the machines! Great fun stop for anyone into mechanisms and automata.

Great museum with beautiful artwork. Love how they change their displays regularly, so you see new art with every visit.

Great place to visit

Great museum. Lots of little galleries. If you have a Bank of America credit card, you can get 1 free admission the first Saturday of the month too! Great presentations throughout the year. Not terribly expensive either if you have to pay admission.

Small but nice. The autotamatoms are worth the entry fee alone.

This is a very important part of the community. Children learn, adults enjoy the cultural opportunities.

A good place to go and get the library passes which will get you free admission.

Very nice museum for all ages. They have exhibits which are very unique and educational

Really nice museum. My kids love it. Great childrens area.

We enjoyed ourselves. Its a small museum so dont plan to spend too much time here.

Great walk thru kids loved it

Small but interesting. The Gruen exhibition was a pleasant surprise

A special place for me because we visited on all my birthdays as a child and teenager. Still amazing. Guinness Collection of automatons and musical machines is world class. You must pay this 100+ year old NJ treasure a visit!

I always wanted to go here and I was happy that I did. It doesnt have the best most provocative art or displays but what it does have is enough to make me happy. Its a beautiful building and its easy to navigate. The main gallery was a great space and I will checking back for new displays.

Good for kids. Steampunk, dinosaurs, old mechanical music machines. A few Picasso works.

I go with my friends and family a couple times a year. Wish I had more time to go more often.

Hidden gem, and extremely kid friendly! Doesnt open to 11, unfortunately.

Pretty cute small museum. Brought my twin 19 month olds and there was things for them to do there . Look like they had fun

Enjoyed 2 hours at this small museum with my 5 year old nephew on a rainy day. His favorite was the train exhibit. I was pleasantly surprised by the mechanical music collection.

The mechanical music player collection is well worth the price alone! Make sure you get a live demo. I hadnt visited in nearly forty years, glad to see old favorites like the model trains, minerals, and dinosaur exhibit were still there. The native American beadwork collection is fascinating as well.

Ive been going here since I was a kid, 40 years ago. They manage to keep things fresh with special exhibits and rotation.

Great special exhibits. Nice place to do/see something locally without driving into the city.

Took the grandkids fun train exhibit. Good place to spend a couple of hours.

My son had an awesome time with the model train display. We also enjoyed the Mechanical Music and Automata room. They did a live presentation of some of the mechanical music machines. We went on the Bank of American free day. Overall we had a really good time!

Great Rock and Automata collections

Spent day with my daughter. I used to take her here alot when she was younger. Brought back alot of great memories. Loved the front sitting room with portraits and wing back chairs. Could sit there all day.

The foremost public repository of antique mechanical music instruments and related atomatons in the western hemisphere.Anything from simple music boxes to world class androids and huge carousel organs. The world famous Guineas collection is but one department of this well run municipal cultural institution, which also includes a Theater and musical events.Also a great place to take kids of any age.

My family went there on Thursday and the admission was free, there were many kinds of old music boxes which was very interesting and especially we liked the toy train very much.There are many buttons for the train when you press them there are many functions which we loved the most!!I recommend here to the parents who have boy children! I think you can stay 1-2 hours herefor touring the whole museum.

Price is reasonable. Lots for the kids to touch and do.

Wonderful family and adult combo museum and Showplace.

Very quirky. There is a entrance fee and they mostly close by 5. But a fun find .

Nice small museum. Great holiday train display. Interesting exhibition on musical instruments.

Beautiful space with unique and unforgettable exhibits.

Easy parking. Small, family friendly museum. Lots of interactive exhibits.

A must see and enjoy. Fun, interactive and engaging. Steam Punk. Guinness musicals. Rocks.

A lot of History and Beautiful Art pieces.

Great performance in a very nice atmosphere

Steampunk exibit really excellent. Artwork from Morris County high school students blew my mind.Lots of stuff to visit and revisit.

Museum is after lunch at farmers market.

Small but enjoyable museum. Especially for kids.

Kids had fun. There was a chocolate exhibit going on. Its good for a few hours, but not an all day thing. Will probably return when theres another interesting exhibit.

Excellent venue for a wedding reception!

Super fantastic, give your self some time

Great for families and kids with rotating exhibit. Season passes if you plan to go regularly are quite affordable

This is a decent small sized museum. They have plays and interesting exhibitions. It is pretty good for kids. It also, oddly enough, is a popular wedding destination.

Exhibits are always changing, and many are the same. Cant get enough of a wonderful museum even my 13 and 15 year old grandsons love this place !!

Nice place for dance/art celebration

Very cool, charming place. Theater is cozy.

Great animatronics exhibit

Wonderful must see very clean handicap accessible very good experience

The train exhibits were amazing

Small museum with nice variety of displays. The model train display was excellent-the kids loved it. They also l Ill ked the dinosaur exhibit, the Crystals and gems and the Guiness display of automated music machines.

If you like Old music boxes and automatons, visit the Morris Museum. 2 interesting model railroads to see and interact with also.
