Maine Quilts: 250 Years of Comfort and Community Exhibition Postponed to 2023
The opening of the museum’s blockbuster exhibition, Maine Quilts: 250 Years of Comfort and Community, has been rescheduled to Spring 2023. The delay is due to the museum’s extended closure for major heating and cooling system upgrades. In the meantime, watch for an announcement of the new book, Maine Quilts: 250 Years of Comfort and Community authored by the exhibition’s curator, Laurie LaBar and co-published by the Maine State Museum and Down East books.
