Maine Maritime Museum is offering free admission on Wednesday, Dec. 12, from 4 to 7 p.m., as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.
Guests can explore six indoor galleries and exhibits, including the newest exhibit, “Ahead Full at Fifty: 50 Years of Collecting at Maine Maritime Museum,” featuring more than 150 of the most notable objects from the museum’s collection, according to a news release.
The exhibit includes items selected for their historical importance, their beauty, or because of the story behind the object, museum curators said.
Children can play the museum’s curator game, participate in an exhibit scavenger hunt, have their face painted or make their own steam bent wooden bracelets.
