Executive Office of the State of Maine (Maine State Museum)

The Maine State Museum will address gaps in its interpretation of local history by developing and installing "Meet Maine Here," a new 6,000 square foot exhibit to help visitors explore the diversity of Maine's citizens, past and present. Project activities will include incorporating insights gathered from 150 Maine residents into the exhibit design, developing exhibit graphics, writing wall text panels and evaluating their effectiveness, and installing the exhibition along with multimedia components. The resulting permanent exhibition will use the experiences of local historical people to illustrate important topics of Maine history and development, and will represent a greater range of diversity and equity engagement than the museum has ever presented before.
