Seabag Visible Storage Center

Opened in 2011, the Seabag Visible Storage Center is an innovative new type of artifact display: a cross between a formal exhibit and curatorial storage. While maintaining proper storage conditions, Seabag avoids the static nature and cost constraints of a formal exhibit in order to make more items available to public inspection.

Roughly 100 artifacts are on display at any time, and items are changed on a regular basis. The display typically includes ship paintings, portraits, ship and boat models, and a wide variety of nautical and cultural artifacts. On-site computer access to the museum's object database allows users to look up details on any artifact, whether on display in Seabag or in regular storage.

Until further notice, Seabag's hours are subject to staffing availability. If you wish to visit, please contact the Admission Center to confirm times and dates: 207-548-0334 or email admissions@pmm-maine.org.
