Berkshire Museum

Nice mid size museum. Very high quality artifacts and artwork. Took me around 1-2 hours to look at everything. Entry costed $20 and I paid at the door, no reservation required. Great little aquarium section with fine assortment of tropical fish and animals. Highly recommend.

We visited here each time we stay in the Berkshires. The museum is usually not too crowded which is nice. They have some nicely curated exhibits including a mummy and who doesn't like seeing an actual mummy ! It's educational for all ages. The aquarium and reptiles downstairs are a nice addition and a nice way to round out a trip to the museum.

This little museum packs a mighty punch. There is a lot to explore here! An aquarium and reptile center, which is kept beautifully clean and cared for. An art wing with paintings, sculptures and photographs. A bit of history about the area and they people that accomplished such wonderful things and so much more. The grounds were quaint, the museum staff were lovely and the exhibits were spectacular. Take your whole family and head over, it is a wonderful afternoon out!

Awesome mix. Aquarium on the bottom floor was great, along with the rock and mineral section. Ancient History Replica art/sculptures, ancient zoology, early technology innovations and more... Great place for those who gently respect and appreciate museum artifacts. If your kids are wild then might not keep their attention;)

Nice local museum with a good variety of exhibits. The aquarium in particular is very nice for a museum of this size. It's fairly small and mostly geared to kids, but it's good enough to keep the adults entertained as well. The $15/adult price is a bit high if you are visiting without kids, as you can get through the whole thing in about an hour. But if the price doesn't bother you it's well worth the visit.

We had a lovely time here! We enjoyed seeing the animals in the aquarium and reptiles section. The art was lovely to observe as well! I especially appreciated the signs acknowledging problematic aspects of museums and history about local native people. Thank you for being responsible.

This is a wonderful community museum. Kids (and some adults) love the natural history gallery and the camps, aquariums, and classes. There are usually special exhibits for the large number of adults who visit during the spring and summer. This summer (2024), there are two great exhibits that focus on women. One, "Women in Space" took us from the first woman, who in 1912, flew the first loop the loop, through Amelia Earhart to the pioneers of the US Space Program (see photos). The other special exhibit, "Black Women as Muse" presented some beautiful, Black x White photographs of Black women from all walks of life (see photos).

I HAVE BEEN TO THIS MUSEUM WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER.. BEEN HERE MANY TIMES EVEN WHEN I WAS IN MY TEENS MYSELF! MY KIDS LOVED IT TOO!
