The Maine State Museum Commission is a group of fifteen Maine citizens appointed by the Governor to oversee museum policies, prescribe duties of the museum director, establish museum admission fees, and generally supervise museum operations. The members of the Commission may serve up to two consecutive five-year terms and are appointed because of their special qualifications and interests in the several fields of museum activity.

The Maine State Museum Commission is currently led by Chair Michael Barrett and Vice-Chair Michelle Cianchette.
