The first book devoted solely to the diverse and often unexpected museums in the Pine Tree State, Maine’s Museums: Art, Oddities & Artifacts showcases a broad range of art,
history, maritime, children’s, and unusual
museums. With world-class collections of
fine art by past and contemporary masters
as well as the true stories of people and
industries that helped shape the state and
the nation, Maine’s museums invite visitors
to indulge their curiosities and passions
to learn about lighthouses, whales, antique cars, seashore trolleys, sardine canning,
and folk art. They open our eyes to how
Native Americans, shipbuilders, fishermen, lumbermen, Civil War soldiers, artists, and immigrants all had a hand in developing
the state. They inspire children to discover
the world and they reopen more than one Victorian-era cabinet of curiosities. Whether you want to see great works of art or truly unique collections—from umbrella covers
to strange creatures—you’ll find it in Maine and you’ll find it in Maine’s Museums.
