Stumbled upon the Ogunquit Museum of American Art quite by accident on a beautiful May day as we made our way along the old shore road. This is a marvelous little treasure box of local and national painters and sculptors. The docents are knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share information about the painters in the collection. Although small, it was a... More

This is a wonderful little museum with a great collection. In addition to the art inside, there is a lovely collection of art in the surrounding gardens. Finally, the museum sits on a rock outcrop over looking the Atlantic; the view is worth the visit and the rest is just a terrific bonus.

I have no negative issues; I LOVE this place! The approach is beyond belief walking up the winding path path a very naturalized pond surrounded by a gorgeous sculpture garden. From a fair distance once can look toward the front door and see directly through the museum's all glass entrance and exit out to the ocean beyond with sculptures profiled... More

This museum is a little outside of the main tourist area but well worth the visit. It is situated on land overlooking the ocean. Wonderful outdoor sculptures.

This art museum displays works by artist from the Ogunquit art colony, as well as others. The docent is very informative, and we particularly enjoyed the grounds, overlooking the sea, containing many hidden treasures waiting to be discovered.

We had driven past this museum many times, and finally popped in for what we thought would be a quick peek at their collection. Two hours later, we were still absorbing their fabulous collection of things both wild and wonderful. The docents are extremely helpful, and the setting, oh, the setting! Right on the water. Enjoy!!

The Ogunquit Museum of Art is a lovely small museum right on the water in a great location near Perkins Cove. The art is mostly 20th century American art, featuring works by members of the Ogunquit School of Art. Though small, they change their exhibits 5 times a year. The landscaping is sensational and includes a wonderful sculpture garden as... More

the OMAA (Ogunquite Museum of American Art) has some very interesting pieces. I am not an art gallery museum enthusiast, but enjoyed seeing some of the pieces. It is a small museum, easy to go thru in 1 hour, but probably others would want to take 2 or so. Not far of the path of downtown Ogunquit and just around... More

This very small museum is a very big gem. After visiting it, we understood why it was rated so highly by the director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. It sits on an ocean bluff, surrounded by pleasant landscaping, and has a variety of unique art works. The small fee is well worth it.
