Join Glencairn Museum members and staff for a day trip to the Newark Museum of Art (NMOA) newarkmuseumart.org/, New Jersey’s largest fine art museum, founded in 1909 with the then-radical belief that art and learning are for everyone.
Travel in comfort aboard a 56-passenger motorcoach equipped with free WiFi, charging ports at every seat, a restroom, and a PA system. En route, Asian art expert Terri McNichol will provide background on Buddhism to enhance our experience at NMOA.
Upon arrival, half of the group will participate in the Tibetan Art in Depth guided tour, which features a stunning Buddhist altar created between 1988 and 1991 by Tibetan artist Phuntsok Dorje and consecrated by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. The other half will explore the historic Ballantine House through self-guided or audio tours. Built in 1885 by the Ballantine Brewing family, this 27-room mansion combines preserved period rooms with gallery spaces exploring Newark’s cultural history and diverse communities.
The groups will then switch tours so that everyone has the opportunity to experience both.
Afterward, attendees can enjoy lunch either at the museum’s on-site café or bring their own. There will also be time to explore more of the museum on your own before we head back to Bryn Athyn.
