As Monmouth County’s only multi-faceted museum, the purpose of the Monmouth Museum is to promote and support activities which enhance the understanding and appreciation of artistic, cultural, historical and scientific endeavors.

Located on the campus of Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, New Jersey, the Monmouth Museums is an 501c 3 not for profit organization that is sustained completely through grants, donated funds, admission and fundraising events. The Monmouth Museum operates a facility devoted to accessible exhibitions and educational programs that express original, provocative ideas and concepts relevant to the enhancement of the quality of life of the diverse community we serve.

Established in 1963 as a "Museum of Ideas", the Monmouth Museum holds no collections, its serves the community by presenting an ongoing schedule of art and educational exhibitions.

The Monmouth Museum facility includes four galleries: the Main Gallery, which presents rotating exhibitions in the areas of arts, culture, science and history; the Nilson Gallery, which presents the works of NJ emerging artists; the Becker Children’s Wing, which presents bi-annual educational programs for school-age children; and the WonderWing, a permanent installation of an under-the-sea adventure for preschoolers.
