The Everhart Museum has been engaging visitors with natural history, science, and art since 1908.

The Everhart Museum of Natural History, Science & Art is a non-profit museum located in Scranton, Pennsylvania’s historic Nay Aug Park. The Everhart is the largest public museum in Northeastern Pennsylvania, founded in 1908 by Dr. Isaiah Fawkes Everhart, a Scranton-area philanthropist and ornithologist. Dedicated to the education of its visitors in the disciplines of science, history, culture, and

art, the Museum houses humanities and fine art collections as well natural history collections containing fossils, birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, minerals, insects, shells, and herbaria. With more than a dozen galleries, the Museum offers something for everyone to enjoy. Special exhibitions featuring objects and artworks from the Museum's collections and on loan are regularly curated in-house; and traveling shows designed by outside artists and institutions are frequently hosted. Multi-generational programming focusing on the Museum's collections and special exhibitions is offered year-round.

✨ What an amazing time we had during Everhart in Bloom Week, celebrating the fifth annual Electric City Flower Show in Nay Aug Park! Thanks to everyone who joined in the festivities and to everyone who made it all possible! ✨

🪻 There events kicked off last Wednesday with the opening of our Art in Bloom exhibition, which featured the work of nine immensely talented and creative floral designers who created arrangements inspired by works in the Everhart’s galleries. It marked the return of the beloved exhibition following a five-year hiatus.

🌺 Thursday featured the inaugural Craft & Bloom, which invited guests to partake in a series of hands-on arts and crafts as well as visit a variety of fun stations like facepainting, intuitive readings, and more, all while enjoying food, drinks, and the sounds of Cowgirl Pills.

🏵️The third annual Flower Power Happy Hour kicked off the weekend in style on the front lawn of the Everhart with food, drinks, and live music by the Marko Marcinko Latin Jazz Quin tet.

🌹 Saturday was the big day, with the fifth annual Electric City Flower Show outside of the Everhart alongside Everhart in Bloom Community Day. Over 2,000 people attended, marking one of our biggest days ever! Under beautiful summer skies, visitors enjoyed spectacular floral displays, local artisan vendors, family-friendly activities, live music from Doug Smith’s Dixieland All-Stars, food trucks, and free admission to the Museum.

It was a wonderful way to welcome the summer of 2026!. Thank you again to everyone who attended, participated, volunteered, performed, sponsored, and supported these events!
