The Portland Museum of Art is located at 7 Congress Square in beautiful Portland Maine. Their collection of over 18,000 artworks, range from Andy Warhol and Winslow Homer to Louise Nevelson and Claude Monet.
Winslow Homer (1836-1910) is widely regarded as one of the greatest American artists of the 19th century. He has influential ties to Maine and the Portland Museum of Art. The museum operates the Winslow Homer Studio, a landmark building on the rocky coast of Maine where the artist lived from 1884 until his death.
The museum conducts tours at the Winslow Homer Studio. They offer Free School Tours and Group Tours for groups of 10 or more. You can also take a self guided tour on your mobile device with the PMA guide.
