Travel Along The Maine Art Museum Trail, By Melody Schubert

Maine's natural beauty has drawn many artists. From Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper, to Marguerite Zorach, Berenice Abbott, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Each artist's view the landscape in a unique way, yet all have captured the spirit of Maine's charm and hospitality.

As you travel through Maine artist's and those who just love the creative arts will find a variety of galleries and museums to visit along the Maine Art Museum Trail. Among them are Maine’s seven leading art museums: the Bates College Museum of Art (Lewiston), the
Bowdoin College Museum of Art (Brunswick), the Colby College Museum of Art (Waterville), the Farnsworth Art Museum (Rockland), the Ogunquit Museum of American Art (Ogunquit), the Portland Museum of Art (Portland), and the University of Maine
Museum of Art (Bangor).

Maine art museum collections also feature treasures ranging from masterpieces by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Pablo Picasso to early American silver and furniture, as well as contemporary textiles, prints, ceramics, and sculpture. The museums’ permanent collections include works of art by the many artists who have summered or worked in Maine, such as Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Rockwell Kent, Louise Nevelson, Fairfield Porter, and Alex Katz.

For travelers, Maine's Art Museum Trail is a wonderful way to experience the creative works of some of the country's greatest artist's. And, the museum's are all within a day’s drive of each other! We love visiting the various communities that not only have comfortable inns and hotels close to the museums, but also have vibrant cultural attractions ranging from dance festivals to film series to enjoy. This makes a great side trip where you can explore the historic neighborhoods, as well as visit lively shops and galleries. We cannot forget the natural treasures spread out among Maine’s pine covered mountains and bustling coastal villages, which have inspired generations of Maine artists.
