Ethnographic and archaeological objects in the Hudson Museum's permanent collection exemplify the technological development, belief system and economic, political and social organization of their cultures of origin. The collections include artifacts from North, Central and South America; Oceania; and New Guinea. Emphasis in collection development is in these primary geographic regions, with special attention given to Maine Native American materials, Prehispanic Mesoamerica and New Guinea. The Museum also maintains a teaching collection of objects and reproductions used for hands-on instruction in educational programs, workshops, outreach kits and traveling classroom exhibits.
