Your experience at The Works will be enriched with the benefits and privileges of membership. Come and enjoy our permanent exhibits of Licking County’s rich prehistoric history to modern day industry, stroll the Shops of Yesterday, watch the ancient craft of glass blowing, and travel back in time on the restored interurban car. Your museum experience continues as you cross the courtyard to our 2nd Street arts complex. Discover the art district in downtown Newark.
