This September 14 is National Live Creative Day and to spark your inner creativity, we thought we’d share some of our favorite museums in Jersey City. Here are three museums to check out this month in Jersey City.

Liberty Science Center

Serving as New Jersey’s first major state science museum, the Liberty Science Center opened in 1993. In addition to science exhibits, the center is home to the world’s 5th largest IMAX Dome theater and the largest planetarium in the Western Hemisphere.

Additionally, Liberty Science Center is home to the original Hoberman sphere, a sliver computer driven engineering artwork designed by Chuck Hoberman. Learn more about Liberty Science Center.

Afro-American Historical Society Museum

Featuring a mockup of what a 1940s black family’s apartment would look like, it’s easy to get immersed while learning  about the ice box that housed real ice, the Victrola record player, cathedral radio and washboard.

In addition to an apartment, the museum also has a reproduction of a Jersey slave cabin that brings the realities of history to life. The museum is located at 1841 Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City. Learn more about the Afro-American Historical Society Museum.
