Thank you for making Museum Day 2009 such a huge success! Please check back for information on Museum Day 2010.
Until then, check out our participating museums and upcoming events on our Twitter page.
With two locations in Bar Harbor, Maine on Mount Desert island, the Abbe Museum offers innovative exhibitions and programs on Maine’s Native American heritage. We promote the living and historical culture of the four Indian tribes of Maine, collectively known as the Wabanaki or "People of the Dawn." Beginning in 1928 as a small, privately-owned, trailside museum situated Acadia National Park, the Abbe Museum expanded its service to the public in 2001, with a second, more contemporary museum in the downtown area, allowing for year-round changing exhibitions, tours, increased educational programs, and extensive collections storage and research.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
