Distinctly Maine: Active Shakers, ice harvesting, a museum on wheels, and more!

They open our eyes to how Native Americans, shipbuilders, fishermen, lumbermen, Civil War soldiers, artists, and immigrants all had a hand in developing the state. They inspire children to discover the world and they reopen more than one Victorian-era cabinet of curiosities. Whether you want to see great works of art or truly unique collectionsfrom umbrella covers to strange creaturesyou'll find it in Maine and you'll find it in Maine's Museums.
