Portland Museum of Art

As the largest museum in Maine, the Portland Museum of Art is sure to satisfy anyone’s strongest need for an art fix.  The museum specializes in American artists, particularly those who spent considerable time in Maine including Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer, but also includes work by Monet, Renoir, Picasso, and many other European masters.

Exhibitions of all sorts swing through the museum on a regular basis, so be sure to check before you go to see what’s showing at the moment.  While you’re at it, check the schedule of alternative, foreign, and classic movies that play at the museum every weekend.

Travel Tips

The Portland Museum of Art is located in the heart of Portland’s thriving Arts District, which runs along upper Congress Street towards West End.  The area is jam-packed with galleries, perfect for a post-museum stroll.
