I'm an art nut, but decorative arts aren't usually my thing. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this museum! They have traveling exhibits - Summer 2024, we saw one about Bethlehem's hotels - and it was really interesting.
Our docent was a delightful grandmotherly woman, and she told us about EVERYTHING in the museum. It's clear she loves what she does, and that's the kind of person who makes the best guide.
Make sure you don't miss the hidden speakeasy when you visit!

The staff always create interesting exhibits that change often!
Nicest folks around. A lot of history in Bethlehem. A must see is the Bethlehem hotel, don't forget the ice cream across the street. The Irish store is great the folks make you feel at jome
Beautiful place. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Will definitely go back!!
My college age daughter and I loved the tour, the beautiful decorated themed trees, the 18-19 century clothing, dolls, portraits and especially the painting and poem, Compassion Gazes On, by Robyn Bingham and the silk Jewish Chuppah exhibit by Brett Peters. This is a must stop if you are in Bethlehem.
Nice local museum with interesting exhibits. Small gift shop too.
A must-visit if you come to downtown Bethlehem. In fact, many people who live here haven't been to this quaint museum yet and that's just not acceptable. They have a fascinating permanent collection and rotate in special exhibits as well! Like the Purse Lady! (She's awesome)
