Umbrella Cover Museum, Museum of umbrella covers on Peaks Island, Maine, United States.
The Umbrella Cover Museum displays over 2000 umbrella covers collected from 66 different countries, arranged in colorful exhibits throughout the small space.
Founded in 1996 by Nancy 3. Hoffman after discovering several unused umbrella covers, the collection grew steadily until earning a Guinness World Record in 2012.
The museum celebrates everyday objects through exhibits that include personal stories from donors and regular accordion performances by the curator.
Located a ferry ride from Portland, Maine, the museum operates during summer months until Labor Day with admission available through voluntary donations.
Each guided tour incorporates musical elements, including the museum theme song performed on accordion while visitors shake maracas and examine the exhibits.
