The Everhart Museum is a very thoughtful museum with a little bit of everything, offering a great piece of Scranton history. It features a huge variety of taxidermied birds and other animals in its natural history displays, along with dinosaur fossils, a mineral room, and geological displays. The museum also has beautiful artwork and a significant folk art collection, with detailed miniature Scranton displays and a focus on local artists. The atmosphere is very nice and it is considered a good place for mothers, grandparents, and kids, or even a spot for a date. The museum is well maintained and staffed with knowledgeable, pleasant, and nice workers. Tickets are very reasonable. It has a total of 3 floors, including a top floor for art and a basement featuring local artists. While some find the museum small, it has a quite large collection and a very wide range of exhibits. Overall, it is a very good place and a very nice museum for a small-ish town.
Really interesting exhibits at this museum. Come take a look at The Office exhibit and if you always wondered what lens of the Hubble Space Telescope looks like, it's here!!

The Office TV show exhibit is wonderfully curated and exhibited. Each season is highlighted with many props from the show. We had an enjoyable visit- well done!

An interesting mix of a classic old school collection museum with its case after case of stuffed animals and a mineral collection, and an incredibly modern presentation of science and technology about the orbiting observatories. Both extremes are interesting.
