Join us for the monthly First Friday Art Walk in downtown Portland. On view in our museum is our exhibit,
Wired! How Electricity Came to Maine. On view in our lecture hall gallery is the new show,
In a Whole New Light.
In a Whole New Light explores how the advent of electricity changed the experience of the winter holiday season in Maine.
The museum, gallery, and store will be open late and free of charge.
Coming Soon
Author Brenda Gilchrist joins us to talk about her new memoir, Waltzing with Bracey: A Long Reach Home, about her journey back to Maine, and to the Deer Isle cottage of her ancestors, to claim her place in the world. Joining her on the adventure is Bracey, her Corgi, who helps her negotiate the rambling pile of a house, the ghosts that live there, and this unique place on the Maine coast.
