Abbe Collections Hit the Road
/
One of the ways that the Abbe Museum
provides access to its collections is to loan pieces from the collection to
other museums for use in exhibits and research. At this moment, several pieces
from the Abbe’s permanent collection are at or on their way to borrowers for
exhibit.
Jeremy Frey’s large urchin basket with braided sweetgrass is
on loan to the Museum of Arts & Design for their exhibit Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation 3,
which will run at the museum in New York from June
26 - October 21, 2012, and will then travel to a variety of other museums
across the U.S. and Canada.

summer at the Hudson Museum, as part of their exhibit Carved In Stone: Sculpture from Around the World. It is accompanied
by a fish effigy excavated at the N’tolonapemk Site in Washington
County, an ancestral Passamaquoddy
village on Meddybemps
Lake.
