Due to unforeseen construction in an adjacent building on Washington Street, The Ballantine House will be temporarily closed from Thursday, July 25 – Thursday, September 12, 2024.
The Ballantine House is a wing of The Newark Museum of Art.

Built in 1885 for Jeannette and John Holme Ballantine of the celebrated Newark beer‑brewing family, this brick and limestone mansion originally had 27 rooms, including eight bedrooms and three bathrooms. Part of the Museum since 1937, the house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.
