Noyes Museum

About

The Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University is an art museum and the only fine arts museum in southern New Jersey. Founded through the philanthropic efforts of Fred W. Noyes Jr. and Ethel (Lingelbach) Noyes, the museum opened in 1983 at a purpose-built facility on Lily Lake in the Oceanville section of Galloway Township, New Jersey. In 2016, operations were moved to satellite locations across Atlantic County when the Oceanville building closed due to mounting infrastructure costs.

The museum became a division of Stockton University in 2016 after a partnership that began in 2010. It now operates primarily through the Noyes Arts Garage in Atlantic City, which opened in 2013, and the Noyes Galleries at Kramer Hall in Hammonton, along with additional exhibition spaces at several other venues across the county.

The Noyes collection comprises approximately 3,500 works of art and sculpture spanning the 19th through 21st centuries, with emphases on fine and folk art, including a notable collection of over 300 duck decoys.
