This museum has a very large collection of three generations of the Wyeth family and should be a got to for anyone visiting or staying in Rockland. There are other artists represented from the 1800's on and it is a good place to learn a bit about the history of the area. Tickets prices are $15, with a discount to $13 for seniors. Well worth it. It is open usually from 10 t0 5.

A cold winter day and what a place to visit to get out of the cold & catch up on History. Spent 2 hours going through both floors. During the year, the museum changes out the exhibits. There's also a little gift shop & a elevator for access the upper floor.

CMCA has been supporting, exhibiting, and sustaining arts and artists with ties to Maine since its founding in 1952. In that time, CMCA has grown from a scrappy upstart presenting shows in barns and backrooms to become the state’s preeminent contemporary arts organization, hosting a slew of internationally-known artists along the way. With its new space in the heart of downtown Rockland, designed by internationally renown architect Toshiko Mori, CMCA extends its reach exponentially, allowing it to continue its mission on a whole new level.

A stunning setting for terrific exhibitions by artists with Maine roots or connections. It’s like a taste of NYC’s Whitney or the Boston ICA in Rockland. The modern, light-filled galleries designed by NYC-based architect Toshiko Mori (who has a place on North Haven), offer a bright counterpoint to the dark brick-and-wood interiors of older buildings nearby.
