Colby College Museum of Art

The Colby College Museum of Art is an art museum in Waterville, Maine, housing paintings, prints, and other artworks from many periods and styles. The building contains multiple exhibition areas arranged across different sections for viewing and studying the collection.

Founded in 1959, the museum began with donated artworks from collectors who supported the college's mission to make art accessible. The collection grew substantially over following decades as more donations arrived and additional exhibition space was built.

The collection reflects how American art has evolved, featuring works from pioneering artists to contemporary creators on display throughout the building. Visitors can observe how different artistic movements shaped the pieces shown here.

Admission is free for all visitors year-round. Check opening hours ahead of your visit since the schedule may vary by season and special events.

The museum holds the complete set of prints by a major contemporary American artist, making it the only place in the world with every single print from this creator. This comprehensive collection cannot be found anywhere else.
