Very friendly staff and interesting museum. We especially enjoyed the oral parts, with the different languages and music.nnI loved the whale part, the paintings were incredible. I also loved the children's pictures, they were cool.nnThe music was really interesting, especially the modern song by the kids. The canoes were impressive as well.nnI would say this museum is ideal for older kids (8+) and adults.
The Ghost Tour was fun and the guide was knowledgeable and engaging. We had such a great time we decided to visit the museum the next day. The museum was educational, had beautiful art and exhibits, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Must see. Wonderful stories and the art from all of New England's First Nation tribes. Also, read how a governor revoked a tribes river rights so a gas line can be run through the tribal lands not 70 years ago - just 2 years ago! Wonderful museum....
In a space where white colonists have spoken for Native Americans, relegating them to reservations and often silencing their voices on a local, state, and national level, this museum is a breath of fresh air. The exhibits are all presented from the perspective of the Wabanaki in Maine, the People Of The Dawn. It's truly an eye-opening visit. The entrance fee is worth the history and perspective gained by visiting, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Bar Harbor area.
So much to see in here. Beautiful art, culture and history. It was much larger than we expected, we spent a couple hours here and could have spent a couple more. We were glad to learn about the original settlers of this area, the ongoing contributions of their descendents, and their struggles for self-determination.
