The Berkshire Museum is located in downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of Berkshire County. The historic building, built in 1903, features 13 galleries, an aquarium, a 260-seat air conditioned and fully equipped theater, and classroom. Upper-level and corporate museum members are given the privilege of using selected galleries and spaces for special events.

The Theater
