Museum Increases its Visibility and Capacity: We are pleased to announce that the Morris Plains Museum has recently undergone a variety of upgrades. We now have new museum-friendly storage units, a project workstation in our office, and a colorful, interior reception area. With the help of a skilled team of Ramapo College students (Glen Rosenthal, Molly Stern, Courtney Lang, Jessica Feldman, Melissa Feldman, Samantha DeAngelis, Jacob Stephens, and James Howell) and their professor (Bonnie Blake), who won the Design Derby contest sponsored by the Art Directors Club of NJ, we now have a new logo which is featured on a striking poster and brochure the team designed for us as well as on our new web site. All of these upgrades are intended to build a better Museum inside and out.
