Main Exhibition Hall -- Art Exhibits
The Davistown Annual Art Exhibition.  Included in our permanent collection are Phil Barter's Gas tanks, Libby Mitchell's Dog Tweed (upper right,) Melita Westerlund's Medusa series III, seen in the center of this photo on the stage floor and Louise Nevelson's wood sculpture used as the base of Melita Westerlund's Target.  Note the Milton Avery landscape in the upper right corner of the photo.  This study was painted by Milton during the summer of 1945 while he summered in Vermont and shows his experimentation with simplified color forms - a prelude to his later color field masterpieces.  This painting is on long term loan to the Museum.

Visitors please note that the central floor area of the Museum, which is covered by a spar varnished map of Norumbega, can be utilized for meetings, dances and movies.  We have 75 chairs in storage that can be quickly assembled for movie night.

This penny-farthing bicycle has a Maine provenance and appears to have been made between 1925 and 1950.  Above it is Virginia Goolkasian's Mother and Child.

We also offer some inviting chairs for those tired from the hike up to the fourth floor and back.  Note Liberty artist Alan Crichton's Swim above the bulletin board.  Installed sideways to fit, it's now titled Swim Sideways.  Joe Ascrizzi's Heavenly Madonnas is to its right.
