Ogunquit Museum of American Art

Location: Near Perkins Cove in Ogunquit
Region:The Maine Beaches
Activities: Art galleries, gardens
Open: July 1 – October 31

Nestled on three acres of sculpture-dotted land overlooking Narrow Cove and the sea, Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) presents itself as a serene respite from the rest of the world for a beautifully reflective summer day trip. Its sleek, mid-century modern building houses a mix of past and present collections featuring paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints and photographs dating back to the late 1800s. Slip into the galleries that reflect an intersection of Maine’s past and present, or wander through the vast sea-side garden with seasonal blooms that offer a new perspective, visit after visit.

Current Exhibitions running through October 31

After Party, Andy Rosen

An experimental installation that showcases the predawn hours following one of the Ogunquit art colony’s famed beach parties.

Vanitas Vita, Kathleen Speranza

A classic take on still lives with a contemporary approach, these intimate examinations of nature explore color, space and form.
