Maine's Museums

Reviews / Votes

"Janet Mendelsohn's approach to this guide transcends
the mere goal of attracting visitors to a hope of raising awareness to many
resources that are often hidden from the allure of beachfronts and big marquis
attractions. From the introduction on, her purpose is to save museums from a
dwindling economy and increasingly apathetic budgeting." -- The Weekly Sentinel "In her thorough, affectionate, and engaging
exploration of Maine's obscure and popular museums, Janet Mendelsohn provides
an excellent guide to navigating Maine's wealth of history and art. The book
eloquently reminds us of Maine's dedication to its art, culture, and history,
and the importance of looking back as we continue to move forward." -- The Maine Magazine "We all know about the world-class art collections at
the Portland Museum of Art, the Farnsworth and others. With this book,
Mendelsohn reminds us that Maine is richly endowed with dozens of other museums
that specialize in natural history, antique cars, rare maps, folk art and
carved wooden birds." -- Portland Press Herald
