ABOUT
Abbe Museum
An exciting contemporary museum in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor and the first and only Smithsonian Affiliate in the state of Maine, the Abbe Museum inspires new learning about the Wabanaki Nations. Visitors will find dynamic and stimulating exhibitions and activities interspersed with spaces for quiet reflection. The history and cultures of Maine's Native people, the Wabanaki, are showcased through changing exhibitions, special events, teacher workshops, archaeology field schools and craft workshops for all ages. From spring through fall, the Abbe's historic trailside museum location, at Sieur de Monts Spring, continues to offer visitors a step back in time to early 20th century presentations of Native American archaeology in Maine.
