The museum also houses world-renowned collections of folk art, quilts, and maps. Additionally, the Exhibition Gallery features a shop with unique American products and hosts temporary exhibitions that delve into various aspects of American culture, such as dinosaurs, photography, fashion, history, and music. Surrounding the museum is a breathtaking Grade II listed garden spread over 125 acres. Designed by the renowned American landscape architectural firm Oehme Van Sweden, the gardens showcase iconic American landscape movements. Highlights of the garden include the New American Garden, a replica of George Washington's Mount Vernon, a dell, an arboretum, and a children's garden. The American Museum & Gardens also offers educational programs for all ages, guided tours, behind-the-scenes experiences, and a range of activities and crafts for families.
