Located in Rockland on the mid-coast of Maine, the Farnsworth Art Museum is an art museum that specializes in American art.

Built in 1948, the institution was established to celebrate the role of American art in Maine and features a nationally recognized collection of American art in elegantly appointed galleries.

The museum collections include works by Thomas Sully, Fitz Henry Lane, Childe Hassam, Thomas Eakins, Eastman Johnson, and Maurice Prendergast along with a permanent collection entitled Maine in America with works by Frank Benson and Gilbert Stuart.

Four of the galleries are dedicated to contemporary art, and there is a significant collection of works by the 20th century sculptor Louise Nevelson.

The Farnsworth Art Museum also offers a range of educational programs, workshops, and classes for visitors of all ages.
