The path to the prudential center from Penn station is as follows: once you depart the train, take the elevator up to “ML” Main Level. We also stayed at the Hilton inside Penn station just off the skywalk which we found to be extremely safe since we didn’t have to walk outside the station at all. First off, if you’re from out of town, we found using Amtrak at Newark Penn Station to be very convenient. My daughter and I went to a Devil’s game at the Prudential Center as part of my endeavor to see every NHL team at their arena. I have been to this museum at least four times and I feel like I need to come more often. The museum store has delightful finds and the museum has a beautiful space for conference sessions. Normally biased toward painting and print medium, I was blown away by her graphics and digital arts and bought a few mementos in the museum shop. On this visit, I was deeply excited to see Bisa Butler's warmth of other suns and a special exhibit by Saya Wookfalk. There were wings of the museum that focused on a range of American art with powerful pieces that represent the classic landscape and portraiture, to areas of the museum that pay homage to New Jersey's indigenous culture, a collection of art glass, and spaces devoted to Black art. The African art collection while minimalist in appearance has striking pieces, all of which have powerful meaning, attendant to both the symbols that are held across the continent and represent a range of countries. The museum permanent exhibits features quite an outstanding Asian art collection, including a full temple that was, in fact, blessed. I wish I lived closer as I'd easily be a member. You can spend a full day in this museum easily, even with the Ballantine House under renovation.
