Berkshire Museum 39 South Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201

"Smaller size museum, easy to spend an hour to ninety minutes perusing their collection. Went on a very cold day to get out of the house and see some things. Still have the mummy which I had been fascinated with as a child. The little aquarium had lots of sea horses to gaze at and lots of other fun creatures to spot."

"This place had a couple of nice exhibits, but was mostly very disorganized. Their exhibit on General Electric didn't mention anything about their pollution of many areas, and although some of the live animal exhibits were ok, their ball pythons were so dehydrated and just about every care standard was being violated. Whoever takes care of these animals needs to read a book about how to care for them, because it is sad to see animals in such a state at an institution that should know better."

"We enjoyed our trip to this museum. It was 3 stories jam packed of information and history. We learned a lot. I can't remember if it was $10 or $15 per person to get in but it was well worth the cost."

"Great local regional museum when you are in the area. Perfect for elementary school kids. Lots of local information. Beautiful aquarium in the basement. Budget 1-2 hours. Street parking only. Very friendly staff!"

"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;)"
