Elkins Gallery and Garden Patio Tent (Pine Street side) up to 150 guests
(available during Museum hours)

Mercer Museum is a unique National Historic site, with many possibilities for events and meetings! The oldest parts of the Museum are the Elkins Gallery and Mercer Museum, the soaring castle “full of treasures” constructed in 1913.

The elegant Elkins Art Gallery is the "dining room" of the museum. A baby grand piano and two fireplaces with mantels flank the intimate room with glowing hardwood floors. The adjoining museum, available to your guests, was built by famed archeologist Dr. Henry Chapman Mercer to display over 30,000 artifacts of early American life he had collected. The towering central atrium always garners “wows” from visitors.

Seasonally, the adjoining garden tent overlooking the imposing Michener Art Museum is included in your rental, offering a beautiful outdoor site for cocktails. The white garden tent seats up to 120 guests for dinner. Capacity in the air - conditioned Elkins Gallery, with dancing, is 80 for seated dinner. Combined capacity in the building and tent is 150 for dinner with dancing. The in-town village setting, Museum grounds and expansive lawn offers ample space for an al fresco ceremony, unique photo sites or simply strolling away from the crowd for a quiet moment.
