Top 5 Museums in Bangor, Maine (ME)
The city of Bangor is perhaps most well known as the setting for many of Stephen King's stories, a reputation that has led to the nickname Transylmainia. There is more to Bangor than just tales of horror, however. There is a thriving arts scene, with museums, galleries, theaters, a symphony orchestra and a popular sidewalk art festival every summer. The area around Bangor includes the coastal Acadia National Park and the wooded Baxter State Park, providing plenty of outdoor adventure.

Always a new experience with varied things to look at from stationery, journals, and cards, to jewelry rendered in different stones. Although the name is Rock and Art the shop includes lotions and potions and an array of plants. The air plants are always a marvel and at Christmas tree decorations, are available. A miniature terrarium. I have kept them in the pots of other plants. The shop includes linens, kitchen items, and always has a gallery of local artists updated.
