Program areas at Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine
Museum operations - the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine exists to inspire discovery and imagination through exploration and play. The Museum serves as an independent resource for families and educators, helping to create a broad community devoted to our Children's development and learning. Over 100,000 visitors come to the Museum on an annual basis. The visitor engagement department provides for a safe and clean building in which to present educational exhibits and programs.
Educational - the Museum provides educational programming for children and families through on site programs and outreach to schools and community organizations. The programs are directly tied to the exhibits.
Theatre - Theatre provides opportunities for young audiences to see a show and young actors to participate in an ensemble and develop their skills.
Exhibits - exhibits and programs allow children the opportunity to learn through discovery. All exhibits and programs focus on our four primary learning areas: stem, early childhood education, arts and culture education, as well as Theatre.
