The Mission

The Ogunquit Museum of American Art engages and educates a diverse audience by collecting, exhibiting, preserving, and interpreting American art from the nineteenth century to the present. The Museum integrates its unique artistic heritage and setting to enhance visitor enjoyment and understanding of art.

The Building

Upon entering the Museum, visitors look directly through the glass wall of its main gallery to the dramatic coast, the ocean, and the far horizon. The Museum building, grown since its founding in 1953 to approximately 7,500 square feet, is home to the Museum's 1,600-piece Permanent Collection.

See this page for more information on the Permanent Collection of the Ogunquit Museum of American Art.

The Ogunquit Museum of American Art is located at 543 Shore Road, Ogunquit, Maine. The Museum Shop is open during regular museum hours and offers hundreds of fine art reproductions and gift items.
