DESCRIPTION:Every museum collection has a few stories to tell.  Comprised of approximately 8\,900 objects\, historic records\, and library holdings\, METC’s collection represents a comprehensive and dedicated approach to New Jersey’s development from an early settlement to industrialization. Since opening over 50 years ago\, METC has featured the permanent collection in informative gallery exhibits and educational programs focusing on home\, shop\, and farm trades. Reflecting the daily life of everyday individuals\, this collection tells the complex stories of New Jersey culture\, economy\, and society in the 18th and 19th centuries. However\, with only 15% of the collection on view much of METC’s vast collection has been tucked away in storage. \nOn July 6th\, METC will open a new Main Gallery exhibit titled Uncovered: Hidden Treasures from METC’s Permanent Collection. For the first time in decades\, objects housed deep in METC’s storage facilities will be displayed. This exhibit intends to reveal the depth and breadth of METC’s permanent collection including objects uncovered during METC’s collections move and comprehensive inventory. This exhibit will be on display in the Main Gallery until February 2022.
