Everhart Museum

"Very nice, small museum. Very navigable, wonderful taxidermy section, I loved the art galleries especially!"

"-really love having a membership here. It's the perfect sized museum for going for an hour or two. The 2nd floor's artists' rooms are beautifully curated, and the folk art is especially wonderful."

"Such a great local museum with world class exhibits!"

"Not going to lie. I didn’t have big expectations. I grew up in Scranton and went here as a kid many times. My big memories were the dinosaur fossils (cast), bird room, shrunken head, mineral/stones under black light and the bees that used to be in the basement. Some of that is still there and some of it is not (the worker bees apparently abandoned their Queen at some point; the shrunken head was taken out to investigate if it was actually human remains, in which case it would not be able to be displayed). But it’s been really well cleaned up since my childhood and even the early 2000s which was probably the last time I was there. It feels very modern, very clean, freshly painted with galleries deserving of a museum. There are some very nice modern works that I enjoyed seeing. It’s a bit of a miracle that the museum has survived so many decades and so many ups and downs that the city has gone through financially and that it is so beautiful. I’m glad I visited on this last trip back to Scranton and I’m proud to have it in my hometown."

"I have been to the Geisinger hospital several times now and I never knew the museum was so close! A serene oasis from the big city, the Everhart museum is tucked into nature and provides patrons a quiet place to come with a child friendly atmosphere. The personnel at the museum are courteous and caring and always striving for a better experience for their patrons. My family had a wonderful experience here! We look forward to coming back when our child is a little older and can appreciate it."
