For Rockland it is a great highlight but in absolute terms the museum isn't great. Great Wyeth(s) collections, very interesting room on book cover design. The rest is half good art and half bad art (my personal opinion). The real downside is the layout: difficult to follow the collection, rooms half with portraits and half with mountain or sea landscapes from different periods and artists. Also, if you're in a wheelchair or just have a stroller things get a bit overcomplicated for such a small space. And all for the "little" sum of 15 dollars per person...

Impressive curation of art representing regional and internationally-renowned artists. There are two buildings and 6 floors, so we did not get to see everything, but our group looks at art thoughtfully (and rather slowly), so it is possible to see it all in a day (if you’re efficient). Guests wear an entrance sticker and can exit to have lunch (many Rockland downtown area eateries in close walking distance) before returning to the museum. I was surprised by the extensive collection of quality art.

This museum is highly recommended to be visited. There is a great selection of the artworks dedicated to Maine. The stuff is very friendly and helpful.

Great museum, but if you’re in the off-season be sure to check how much of it is open; get your discount if half of it is under renovations. The exhibits are all interesting, and the Weiwei installation is here most of 2018 - a must see. The Maine art is well represented. There are exhibits showing Wyeth’s studies and the finished product, letting you see him work through the creative process and see all of the detail he planned.

Questions & Answers

Can the Olsen house be visited before we visit the museum proper? We are coming from NY on our way to northern Maine and would like to see both on the way without backtracking.

Absolutely. The Olson House is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 12 - 5 pm with tours leaving on the hour (the last tour is at 4 pm). You may purchase a combination ticket at the Olson House for both the House and the Farnsworth museum. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Could you tell me the dimensions of the Christina's World that hangs at the Olson House?

Do you have any art competitions? I am from Moscow, Russia. In 2017 I won the Fenimore Award at the Fenimore Museum in Cooperstown, NY and was presented the award by Victoria Wyeth.

Dear Tatiana, I'm not aware of competitions at the Farnsworth but will pass your question on to someone at the museum who can answer your question.

Are you currently in possession of the portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt painted by DeWitt M. Lockman that may have been presented to the museum circa Nov.18, 1948?

Bob Wood | Aug 20, 2019

We do have a painting by DeWitt Lockman but it is not a portrait of Roosevelt. I'm so sorry!
