The Belskie in Closter's Museum

Journeys into Closter
The most recognizable these days of the sculptors of Closter is Abram Belskie - mostly now for the museum named after him. The museum was started to preserve, house and exhibit the works of Belskie, a scupltor, medical illustrator and resident of Closter.
Belskie died in 1988 and, in 1993, the Belskie Museum of Arts and Science was opened. It was entirely funded by membership fees, donations, grants and local subsidies.
The Belskie at once celebrates Closter's traditional artistic roots as it nurtures and encourages new generations to continue to create next chapters in this legacy.
It is a local gem.
