Major regional art museum with works spanning several centuries — art history, media analysis, and visual literacy across American and European collections.

What families say
Families can expect a solid few hours here, with well-written descriptions that help make the art (including Monet, Picasso, and Maine sculptors) accessible to kids new to museums as well as art-loving parents. The museum spans four floors with an elevator, though the top two floors move quickly, and there's a basement cafe for snacks (just note food/drinks aren't allowed upstairs). Reviewers especially liked the historic and mission-driven exhibits that highlight overlooked perspectives, plus a fun contemporary animal-themed display on the 4th floor.
