 American Impressionism, Portland Museum of Art by Jefie, 4 more photos The Portland Museum of Art is not a very big museum, but it's got an interesting collection. Dating back to 1882, it is the state's oldest and largest art museum and it is comprised of three historic buildings that represent three centuries of art and architecture: the 1801 federal-style McLellan House is connected to the 1983 Post-Modern Charles Shipman Payson Building (designed by I.M. Pei & Partners, well known for the Pyramid at the Louvre) by the 1911 Beaux-Arts L.D.M. Sweat Memorial Galleries. The collection includes work from American and European painters representing several movements, including Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Modernism, Cubism, Surrealism, Realism and Contemporary Art. For me, it was a chance to get better acquainted with American arts, and I especially liked being able to compare American with French Impressionism. The Arts of the New Republic and American Landscape galleries also made it possible to see the work of several painters from Maine, and see the area as it was 200 years ago through their art. During summer, the museum is opened every day from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (late nights on Friday). Admission is $10 for adults, $4 for students and children. The museum staff is very friendly and will make sure to help you enjoy your visit!
