Open year-round, Maine Maritime Museum explores Maine’s rich maritime culture through permanent and rotating exhibits, educational programs, tours, and demonstrations.
As part of its accessibility initiative, children 17 and under receive free admission through 2026 thanks to Central Maine Power. The museum has also partnered with Museums for All, a program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, to provide free admission to anyone with an EBT (electronic benefit transfer) card. As a participating institution, visitors can simply present their EBT card at the front desk to receive free admission for up to four people any time the museum is open.
