New programs, exhibits, and collections care initiatives are, in large part, supported by people like you. If you’re a fan of this unique, world-class museum, here are three ways you can make a difference – even while the museum’s doors are closed.

• Become a member (Friend of the Maine State Museum) or make an unrestricted financial contribution. Gifts from the community help protect our outstanding collections and make more of them available online; move our programs to digital platforms; and further planning for major new exhibits and a dazzling reopening before too long.
• Engage with us through social media and let others know what a special place this is! Find us on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
