The Abbe Museum's new membership program is here!

You don't want to miss this!

The Abbe Museum's membership program has received a much needed reboot for 2015.


Thanks to our members, the Abbe Museum is able to fulfill our mission to inspire new learning about the Wabanaki Nations with every visit through education, exhibitions, and innovative programs. Members support the financial well-being of the Abbe Museum, while enjoying exclusive benefits that are renewable each year at various levels of support.

We work closely with tribal communities in Maine, northern New England, and eastern Canada to produce award-winning exhibits, educational programs for students, teachers, and Museum visitors, and collaborative projects. Native people lead programs, serve on our board of trustees, and are staff members. We are also a part of the local Bar Harbor and MDI economy and we have a direct impact on the tribal economies in Maine.

The Abbe Museum:

  • Annually hires over 30 Native educators to lead programs and more than 80 Native artists are represented in our shops.
  • Is the main repository for archaeological collections from Maine’s midcoast  and downeast region.
  • Hosts more than 100 schools participating in class trips, serving 60 school districts.
  • Cooperates with school districts on curriculum topics that include: Social Studies, Geography, Economics, Science and Technology, English Language Arts, Fine and Performing Arts.
  • Serves more than 3,000 schoolchildren each year through field trips to the Museum.
  • Hosts more than 200 educators who have participated in our teacher training programs.
  • Serves 30,000 visitors each year, locally and from across the globe.

If you are not currently a member of the Abbe Museum, please consider joining or renewing now to enjoy special benefits throughout the year, such as free admission to the Museum, a Smithsonian Affiliate membership, a 10% discount in the shop, and reciprocal benefits at museums and historical sites around the country.
