About
The Montclair Art Museum sits at 3 South Mountain Avenue in Montclair, New Jersey, a town a short drive from New York City. Often called MAM, it is a museum devoted to American art and to the art of Native American peoples, with a collection that spans three centuries.
What you will see
The museum is known for its American holdings, and visitors who enjoy landscape painting will find a particular draw in its Hudson River School works. The collection also gives real weight to Native American art, and its contemporary pieces show that this tradition is still very much alive. Taken together, the galleries let you trace a long arc of American creativity, from older canvases to work made much more recently.
