Announcing a new arts and culture lecture series presented by America's finest professors.

MORRISTOWN, NJ, UNITED STATES, June 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Morris Museum is proud to announce the launch of Breakfast University, a unique and timely program series that welcomes renowned professors from universities across the country to share their expertise on a range of creative subjects. Created in partnership with Thoughtful Productions, Breakfast University will bring lively presentations on academic subjects—usually reserved for a university setting—to the general public. Each event begins with a social coffee gathering and concludes with exclusive access to the Museum’s galleries. Lectures will take place monthly on Tuesdays starting October 13 from 9:30 - 10:30 AM. Doors open for coffee at 9 AM.

“We are excited for the Morris Museum to foster community learning in a university-style format that encourages deep thinking about ideas that impact society today,” said Jess Van Nostrand, Director of Public Engagement and Curatorial Strategies at the Morris Museum. “We believe in the value of arts and culture for everyone, and offering a high-quality lecture series is the perfect addition to our programming.”

Breakfast University at The Morris Museum will be offered in two semesters and can be purchased by semester or for individual events, with a special discount for both complete semesters. In addition, a livestream-only package is available for those who are unable to attend in person. Member early-access ticketing opens on July 13th, and general public sales begin on July 20th.
