The past week has been fun, frantic…and undeniably stressful. The upcoming weeks aren’t looking any better, with holiday planning and shopping and socializing, with midterms and finals and end-of-quarter reports. So this post is going to be very light on words and concepts. Instead, we’re going to take a tour of Maine’s best art museums. Best of all? You don’t have to fight the traffic on Route 1.

First stop: The Ogunquit Museum of American Art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Head a short way north to the Portland Museum of Art…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…and then up the coast to the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inland to Lewiston, we come to the Bates College Museum of Art….

Then back to the coast for what may be Maine’s most well-known museum, the Farnsworth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Northward to the Colby College of Art…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…and finally, we end at the University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhh. Don’t you feel more relaxed? I do. Who’s up for a cup of tea at the museum cafe?
