Reviews
In her thorough, affectionate, and engagingexploration of Maine's obscure and popular museums, Janet Mendelsohn providesan excellent guide to navigating Maine's wealth of history and art. The bookeloquently reminds us of Maine's dedication to its art, culture, and history,and the importance of looking back as we continue to move forward., Janet Mendelsohn's approach to this guide transcendsthe mere goal of attracting visitors to a hope of raising awareness to manyresources that are often hidden from the allure of beachfronts and big marquisattractions. From the introduction on, her purpose is to save museums from adwindling economy and increasingly apathetic budgeting., We all know about the world-class art collections atthe Portland Museum of Art, the Farnsworth and others. With this book,Mendelsohn reminds us that Maine is richly endowed with dozens of other museumsthat specialize in natural history, antique cars, rare maps, folk art andcarved wooden birds.
Synopsis
The first book devoted solely to the diverse and often unexpected museums in the Pine Tree State, Maine's Museums: Art, Oddities & Artifacts showcases a broad range of art, history, maritime, children's, and unusual museums. With world-class collections of fine art by past and contemporary masters as well as the true stories of people and industries that helped shape the state and the nation, Maine's museums invite visitors to indulge their curiosities and passions to learn about lighthouses, whales, antique cars, seashore trolleys, sardine canning, and folk art. They open our eyes to how Native Americans, shipbuilders, fishermen, lumbermen, Civil War soldiers, artists, and immigrants all had a hand in developing the state. They inspire children to discover the world and they reopen more than one Victorian-era cabinet of curiosities. Whether you want to see great works of art or truly unique collections--from umbrella covers to strange creatures--you'll find it in Maine and you'll find it in Maine's Museums ., The first book devoted solely to the diverse and often unexpected museums in the Pine Tree State, Maine's Museums: Art, Oddities & Artifacts showcases a broad range of art, history, maritime, children's, and unusual museums.
