Movement at the Museum

 

Get moving in new and interesting ways within the walls of the museum.

On the final Friday of each month, get moving with fun, fresh, and healthy social activities the whole community can enjoy. Discover new interests, learn different skills, and connect with others all under our roof. Whether an up-tempo night of salsa dancing, a centering evening of tai chi, or all the aerobics involved with swing dance, you’re sure to leave inspired (and possibly perspired).

No prior experience needed.
5pm to 6pm on the final Friday of each month.

Bird Walk

Christine Murray, a Maine Master Naturalist, will lead this urban birding experience. We’ll gather at the Museum and begin our hour-long walk from there. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes, and bring water. A limited number of binoculars will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to bring your own if you have them.
