Step into Ballantine House and you’ll find more than just Gilded Age grandeur—this Newark mansion now tells the stories of the city’s diverse communities alongside its opulent past. The Newark Museum of Art’s $12 million renovation blends immersive soundscapes, interactive exhibits, and contemporary art with original 19th-century details. From African-American heirlooms to bold installations challenging Victorian norms, every room sparks conversation about who gets remembered in history. The result? A living, breathing space where Newark’s past and present collide. What do you think about reimagining historic homes to reflect all voices in a city’s story? #Entertainment #Newark #BallantineHouse
