About Berkshire Museum

The Berkshire Museum is a museum of art, natural history, and ancient civilization in downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts. After a major renovation it reopened to the public, and visitors can see new exhibitions along with a newly built aquarium. Rotating shows have included a loan of animal mummies from Ancient Egypt. Free off-street parking for three hours is available in a lot next to the Colonial Theatre, and the public areas are wheelchair accessible.
