The Office Exhibition

In 2005, television audiences were introduced to a modest paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and a cultural phenomenon was born. The Office didn’t just put Scranton on the map—it etched it permanently into the hearts of millions as the home of America’s favorite comedy series.

Opened in 2025 to mark the 20th anniversary of the series, The Office Exhibition is a first-of-its-kind exhibition that honors that remarkable connection. Featuring original props, interactive experiences, exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, and a nostalgic walk through all nine seasons, this immersive experience explores the story of The Office through the lens of Scranton.

* There is an additional charge for this exhibition. For more information and registration, click here.

This exhibition is supported by Lackawanna County, the Lackawanna County Visitors Bureau, and the City of Scranton.

James Kearns: The Performers

This exhibition showcases a striking print series of etchings that vividly capture the world of circus performers. A figurative painter and sculptor, Kearns identifies what makes each of his subjects who they are. There is an exaggeration in the representations, but also a truth.

Kearns peers beneath the subject’s skin to capture their true essence. His figures, while appearing physically grotesque, offer a subtle, inner beauty in their appearance. As he has stated, he aims to present “man as the total man-the tragic, the complex, and the joyful.”

Scranton to Scale: Don Clark’s Miniature Memories

The Everhart presents an exhibition of Scranton in miniature, a recreation of Scranton landmarks derived from original blue prints and photographs, with assistance from some of the buildings’ original architects. 

The collection, created by Don Clark, is filled with Scranton history in intricate detail, from the Tiffany-designed owls above the entrances to the Scranton Times Building, to the writing on the facade of the Everhart Museum, to cement eagles surrounding the Lackawanna Train Station. It has made many stops along the way, beginning with the Keyser Oak Shopping Center in 1977, and going on to the Gertrude Hawk annex building, and the Mall at Steamtown.

This exhibition is made possible by Attorney Chris Munley, who purchased the collection and restored it for the benefit of the community.
