Laurea de OcampoSeptember 1, 2016Love that there is a new wing & old wing & a house from the 1800's with beautiful wallpaper & carpet. It's not too big of a museum so you can see everything without feeling overwhelmed 🖼
- WyngspanJanuary 22, 2014The locally stocked gift shop and café are as impressive as the collections. Visit on a Friday night for free admission and share the experience with your Trust Network: http://bit.ly/1c3Hiig
Anonymous, since 2018July 22, 2021This is the number one attraction (sorry observatory). Noteworthy is the current exposition of David Driskell. Of course the “Masters” collection (corner of 1st floor and 3rd floor) are amazing too.
Honghui YuFebruary 16, 2016This may seem like a small museum but when I went, they were displaying an incredible collection of works on paper. The quick and free docent tour was especially helpful.- Michael Del CampSeptember 21, 2011Portland is known for Arts, Crafts, Theater, and Creativity. Tourists come here, but so do Artists' Colonies of varied types. Old Port Festival held in Spring, Sidewalk Art Festival in the Fall.
Visit MaineMay 3, 2011Great museum with new exhibits and a fantastic permanent collection. Free admission on Fridays is a nice perk, too. Make sure to check out the local galleries along Congress Street and in the Old Port
- Jack L. SammonsMay 22, 2016Excellent permanent collection well displayed. There is something of importance for every taste.
Lori RaymondDecember 31, 2012Tried to visit on Monday Dec.31 and they were closed. Traveled from VT. To see W. Homer exhibit. Tip: Call aread -don't trust website hours.
Colin DeVaughanJune 9, 2012Regardless of admission price, this is an excellent collection. Do not miss the view of 'Rising Cairn' from the _third_ floor staircase.

- Amy BlakeJuly 8, 2010The permanent collection is awesome for such a small city/museum, and the traveling exhibits are of excellent quality. Their cafe is minimally chic and a great bargain!
Paul ShinnFebruary 2, 2014Many of the classic american sculptures are well lit and easy to photograph here.
Carmen NJuly 20, 2015First time seeing John Haberle's trompe l'oeil paintings and well color me impressed. Overall a great museum.
- Michael OharaMay 2, 2015The original part of the house was full of amazing craftsmanship try and do something like that today.
