While our museum is under renovation, we’ve been bringing our mission into our community—sharing hands-on programs at local events, partnering with schools and cultural organizations, and reaching hundreds of families beyond our walls. Support our work at berkshiremuseum.org/support/annual-fund/

We’ve officially finished pouring our brand-new Senso Floor! Made from a sustainable, plant-based material, this surface brings a touch of luxury to a visitor's museum experience—while staying true to our commitment to environmentally friendly design. Timelapse at

Wally was feeling a bit left out of the renovations going on at the museum, so we gave him a new "enclosure"!

Can you guess what all these objects from our collection have in common? Join us later this week as Associate Curator William Dore and Curatorial Assistant FuXi Worcester guide viewers on the similarities, importance, and history of these objects, and how they will be featured at the museum in 2026!

Berkshire Museum might be under renovation, but work in our Collections Department remains largely the same. In this photo, department staff work to clean up a white marble statue titled 𝘍𝘢𝘶𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘊𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥 by Henri Pernot. This process will take many hours to ensure its return to splendor.

The 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 is one of the new exhibitions to be featured at the museum in 2026, presenting a robust and immersive exploration of key events throughout history in Pittsfield and Berkshire County, as well as examining the relationship of the museum with the community.
