That's Not All...
Perhaps guided tours aren't exactly your thing or maybe you want to explore a more unique museum like one filled with over 5,400 spoons. Sometimes you'll go into a museum and come out having learned more than you ever expected. Rutgers University is also home to a couple musuems including the Zimmerli Art and once centered on geology. Don't take NJ's culture for granted, opportunities are around the corner.
