Visitors to the museum may tour the current exhibit, "Through the Eyes of an Artist: The Art and Artists of East Brunswick." The exhibition, which will run through October, includes works of art, the story behind the art and a narrative of the artists. Through a display of original paintings and personal possessions of the artists, the installation examines more than 200 years of East Brunswick history. Objects and artifacts that have never been exhibited are part of the display.

Regular museum hours are 1:30-4 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. Members of the public are invited to become new museum members.
