Abbe Museum

To illuminate and advance greater understanding of and support for Wabanaki Nations’ heritage, living cultures, and homelands. In recent years, the Abbe has grown from a small trailside museum, privately operated within Acadia National Park, to an exciting contemporary museum in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor. At the Abbe's downtown museum, visitors find dynamic and stimulating exhibitions and activities interspersed with spaces for quiet reflection. The history and cultures of the Native people in what we now know as Maine, the Wabanaki, are showcased through changing exhibitions, special events, teacher workshops, and workshops for children and adults. “The museum is heartfelt, accessible, and has something for all visitors but doesn’t shy away from telling the hard truths of the past and present. We are all involved in the process of making the world better. Thank you for the opportunity to learn and appreciate, to recognize beauty and work, and the unity of all things.” —Emma, 2018 [read more]
