Great part of history if youre ever interested in knowing who visited the artic first. The pioneers who dreaded going for long months to make the journey to the farthest north part of the globe resides in this museum. Some parts of the museum are still being either refurbished or added on, but the majority of the exhibit is completed. Learn a part of history that so many dont realize could help save the global warming epidemic going on right now. Took this photo of a snowman outside of the museum.

Great free museum. Glad they acknowledged the African American partner in the expedition. Amazing collection of native art and clothing

A fabulous museum! Well worth the trip.

10 year old says it was pretty fun. Good hands on things. Cool, short videos. Neat clothing and static displays

Really interesting museum about Arctic life and Inuit history!

Gem of a museum full of fascinating artifacts having to do with Arctic exploration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Worth going out of your way to visit.

Nice information about Matthew Henson who actually arrived at the pole first. He was a guide for Perry.

Really good;Interesting historical spot. The volunteers here make the place. They’re so invested in the observatory, you can feel the interest and excitement as the tell the stories about what has happened here, since it was first built.Incoming ships, military readiness, weather predictions & the structure itself make for a worthwhile visit. You’ll be cli,bing 4-5 flights of stairs to ascend in the observatory .

This is a great arctic museum. Small and informative.

So cool! Wonderful location for my students to learn!

A small museum that you could easily spend over an hour in because of the fantastic exhibits they have. They cover everything from geology, clothing, tools, expeditions, and more.

Best news, they arent moving. Current exhibit includes clothing based on old traditions but done in a more modern theme. Be sure to visit this free museum dedicated to the quest of the North and South Poles.

Listen to and learn about Music in the Inuit World!See amazing art.

Small, but full and well curated museum about Artic exploration with a comprehensive scavenger hunt for children that doesnt interfere with the adult experience.

This is a very neat little museum that is well worth a visit. And its free !

Informitive

The Arctic Museum (on the campus of Bodwin College) in Brunswick, Maine is one of very few specialised museums dealing both with the exploration of the Arctic region, its culture AND its flora and fauna.Although it is technically a branch of the college (and thus an academic institution, following rigorous intellecttual standards) in some respects significatn portions of if feel like a chilrens museums, with significant displays apealing to children fro K thhrough highschool.

A unique piece of history

Very fun for grown-ups. About 90 minutes of interesting history.

Great little Museum, quite a bit to see

Very informative and well presented. The highlight to me was the Mathew Henson story.

Very interesting museum, lots of interesting exhibits and displays, though a little tricky to find hiding inside the bowdoin college campus.

Filled with fascinating information about the Arctic, past and present. Gorgeous Inuit art.

A compact museum, packed full of articles from Pearys Arctic explorations.
