Noyes Museum, Art museum in Atlantic City and Oceanville, United States

Noyes Museum is an art museum located across multiple sites in Atlantic County, including locations in Atlantic City and Hammonton. The collection features contemporary pieces, carved bird decoys, and regional artworks celebrating the natural environment.

The Noyes Museum opened in 1983 in a purpose-built facility on Lily Lake in Oceanville, Galloway Township, funded by Fred W. Noyes Jr. and Ethel Noyes, who established their foundation in 1973. The building closed in January 2016 over infrastructure costs, and the museum became a division of Stockton University, shifting operations to Atlantic City and Hammonton. The foundation donated its remaining assets, valued at $2.2 million, in December 2017.

The museum's name honors founders Fred W. Noyes Jr. and Ethel Noyes, who established their charitable foundation in 1973. At the Noyes Arts Garage in Atlantic City, visitors can watch artists at work in eight studios and buy original pieces directly. The African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey, founded by Ralph E. Hunter Sr. in 2002, is a permanent anchor tenant there.

The museum has locations spread across Atlantic County, so it's helpful to plan ahead to visit the exhibition that interests you most. Check the specific address and opening hours of each location before you go to avoid confusion.

The Noyes collection numbers about 3,500 works spanning the 19th to 21st centuries, and among them are over 300 duck decoys. The museum's largest site is the Noyes Arts Garage at 2200 Fairmount Avenue in Atlantic City, opened in November 2013 in a parking garage near the Boardwalk, where eight artist studios let visitors watch artists at work.
