Abbe Museum

關於

The Abbe Museum is a cultural institution with two locations in Bar Harbor, Maine, on Mount Desert Island. It is dedicated to illuminating and advancing greater understanding of Wabanaki Nations' heritage, living cultures, and homelands. The museum is led by a Wabanaki-majority Board of Trustees and works in consultation with representatives of the Tribal Nations of the Wabanaki Confederacy (including, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot peoples) - centering their voices in exhibitions and programming.

The museum maintains two locations: a downtown location at 26 Mount Desert Street in the center of Bar Harbor, and a historic trailside location at Sieur de Monts Spring in Acadia National Park. The Sieur de Monts building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of Maine's first purpose-built museum buildings and a rare example of Mediterranean-inspired architecture in the state. It is one of the only two remaining privately-operated trailside museums within the National Park system.
