Portland Museum of Art

The Portland Museum of Art spans multiple buildings, including the McLellan House and presents American, European, and contemporary art collections spanning three centuries.

The museum, established in 1882, began as a small art institution and grew into Maine's largest public art museum through continuous expansion and acquisitions.

The museum maintains a collection of works by Maine artists, highlighting regional perspectives while connecting them to broader artistic movements and influences.

Located at 7 Congress Square, the museum provides guided tours, special exhibitions, and educational programs, with extended hours on Fridays until 8 PM.

The institution houses major works by Winslow Homer, who lived and worked nearby at Prouts Neck, creating a strong connection to Maine's artistic heritage.
