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.
Shaped by the forces of geology, and smoothed by ice age glaciers, Maine's natural environment is beautiful and complex. As the point of contact between New England, Maritime Canada and the sea, Maine has been the scene of human occupation, struggle, and enterprise for some 11,000 years. This human history extends from the first Paleo Indian hunters following the woolly mammoths, to vacationers today seeking fun and adventure.
The Maine State Museum provides an excellent overview for first time visitors and a place for life-long residents to refresh their memories.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
