We get a membership so that we can come on rainy days and there's always something new that stands out to us as well as many wonderful interactive activities for the kids. Their favorite is the small aquarium downstairs, though it has barely changed since I was a kid. Many rooms are the same as they have been for decades but they also have fascinating new displays coming through all the time. Love going to shows in the theater with the kids, a great intro to the stage.

I have been going to this museum for 30 years, and it used to be my favorite place to visit in Pittsfield. I moved away and hadn't been back for a few years, and thought it would be fun to go there on my birthday last year, but it turned out to be really disappointing! I figured that for the amount we paid to get in ($16!), that they must have made some great improvements, but it was the opposite. I don't know what happened, but the whole place just looked like nobody cared anymore. There was clearly no pride, love, enthusiasm, or passion put into the displays any longer. Even the crown jewel, the mummy, was just sort of "there" tossed in with some other miscellaneous objects. I had vowed that that would be my final visit, and this was before I heard about the scandal of them trying to sell the artwork that was so generously donated to the museum. You know, the pieces that were meant to be enjoyed by the public for generations to come, not just by wealthy collectors?! This museum has been around for over 100 years! Whoever is in charge needs to step away or be removed, because they are managing to finally sink it...

What a great place! I wish I'd known about this before. So many exhibits in so many different categories with plentiful specimens and information plus interactive displays for all ages. If you're like me and need to stop periodically, there are plentiful parking spots through the museum. Camera friendly, too. I plan to come back.

This is a small local, museum. It would be good for families with children as they have an entire innovation center geared towards youth. They also have a little aquarium with tanks of fish, local reptiles and snakes in the basement. The ground floor also has the biology section with stuffed animals and minerals. The upper floors have art and sculpture, much of it donated by the Crane family of Crane paper fame. My favorite things, the native American lacrosse sticks and the mummy. Plan on a couple of hours.

Natural history/art museum in scenic Pittsfield, MA . The dioramas/mineral collection were especially excellent. Host to an impressive art collection, the proposed sale of which has created notable controversy. Also offers a small aquarium and theater. Worth a visit!
