For
over twenty years, the Hudson Museum has offered exhibits, guided
tours and gallery programs. The Maine Center for the Arts is undergoing
a major renovation that will bring the facility into ADA compliance
and enable us to serve the University community, our patrons and
enhance both the performances and exhibition experience. Since all
of the Hudson Museum’s exhibits in the Maine Center for the Arts
were de-installed for the renovation project, we will bring our
programs to you. The Hudson Museum's casework and collections are
traveling to venues around the state. Look for the Hudson Museum
in Machias, Belfast, Bangor, Portland, and Gorham. Also we will
create mini-exhibits to accompany MCA performances. Visit the Hudson
Museum’s Events and Exhibits
Pages for more information on these offerings.
