Located just across the street from Little Tap House, PMA is home to over 18,000 rotating pieces - from Warhol and Monet to the iconic Maine artist, Winslow Homer. Check out their website for their current exhibition. Truly, PMA is one of the most accessible venues for artwork in the world. The energy that the museum brings to the city is vibrant. 'First Friday' art walks occur on Congress Street every week. During the summer, the street closes to allow people to freely mill about, popping into galleries and chatting with local artists and artisans.
