What people are saying
Loved how interactive it all was
“There was so much to see. My kid’s favorite was the galactic room with glass renderings from local artist Josh Williams. My kids loved the hands-on stuff. My husband is a Civil War/American history fan and there was plenty for him to see as well. Loved how interactive it all was. So happy we came and will definitely return!”

Thank you for being responsible
“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.”

A great find
“This was a great find! My fiancée and I stopped in here while in Pittsfield and I was intrigued by the fact that the Berkshire Museum is part Natural History Museum, part Art Museum, and part Aquarium. They have a nice geology section and a collection of preserved animals. The aquarium was great and had a lot of turtles (my favorite), and the art section had a nice mix of American Indian and classical art (including a mummy!). Easily worth the admission price.”
