BATH — Maine Maritime Museum invites families to take a break from the holiday rush to enjoy a free evening of family fun and learning.
Sponsored by Davenport Trust, museum admission will be free to all on Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m., as Maine Maritime Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary year.
Explore the museum’s 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 MMM collection, selected for their historical importance, their beauty or because of the story behind the object.
Kids 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.
The Museum Store will be open with a wide range of books, gifts and many Made in Maine products. All purchases will be discounted by 10 percent for nonmembers and 20 percent for members and volunteers.
