Samantha Smith Featured in International Exhibition
The Maine State Museum has recently joined with museums from around the world to bring a new exhibition – The Berlin Wall: A World Divided – to international audiences.
The exhibition was organized by a Spanish company, Musealia, in partnership with the Berlin Wall Foundation. The Maine State Museum is lending several items from its Samantha Smith collection to be displayed in a 26,000 square foot space in the exhibition’s first venue in Madrid, Spain.
