Skylands Museum of Art

NEW HOURS! Open every Friday & Saturday 12 to 4 pm.
Enjoy nine rooms of great art on three floors in Lafayette, NJ. Unlike any other, Skylands Museum of Art focuses on enchanting international 20th and 21st century surreal art. The collection emphasizes sculpture, paintings and illustrations by well known talents including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Leonor Fini, Giorgio de Chirico, Ailene Fields and Michael Parkes as well as artists who may be new to you including Brian Froud, Anne Bachelier and Brian Branch.

The Skylands Museum of Art has a unique and eclectic collection of sculptures and paintings, each telling a story about some aspect of humanity and collectively immersing the visitor in a fabulous world of rare imagination brought into being by national and international artists.

From the graceful forms of creatures, both real and imagined, to introspective human figures and imaginary places, the exhibits echo the intricate dance between life's mutability and artistic expression.

The Skylands Museum of Art has a personal, spiritual, and communal value that is meant to connect us further to the best parts of ourselves. It is a sanctuary where art, nature, mythology and humanity harmonize beautifully.

Complete with a sculpture garden, the museum is a delightful sanctuary where art, nature, mythology, and humanity harmonize. Like to draw? Come sketch in our galleries or out in the gardens.

Suggested donation is $10/person. Annual memberships available for children, adults, families and organizations.

The non-profit Museum is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 12 to 4 pm. Additional times gladly by appointment (call: 973-729-3323 for groups, tours, and appointments).
