As the days shorten and thoughts turn toward gathering with family and friends, we wish everyone a happy month of Thanksgiving. With the recent opening of exhibitions dedicated to Helen Frankenthaler and Jo Sandman and to historic Oceanic masks, we take time to celebrate the final days of At First Light: Two Centuries of Artists in Maine with programming in early November that sheds light on that exhibition, and what it has to reveal about art-making today. With gratitude to the many individuals who have helped make them possible, we turn our eyes this month to new acquisitions not yet on public view with a special sneak-peak at works of art that have recently entered the collection. We take time to engage with Antiquity & America: The Ancient Mediterranean in the United States through presentations at mid-month. And, as families gather to celebrate, our late November Family Saturday provides a great opportunity for multiple generations to come together! As always, we are grateful to the extraordinary Bowdoin students who assist the museum with its research, events, and the interpretation of its collections.

See you at the Museum!
