In an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Maine Discovery Museum is closed and we are following the State of Maine and City of Bangor's regulations and guidance on when it will be safe to open again. We will be using this time to sanitize and deep clean the museum so that we will be ready to open again when the appropriate time comes. We will miss seeing our friends during this time, but stay tuned for more information on how you can virtually join some of our programs and learn about our planned on-line content with D.I.Y. and science learning opportunities for parents and children. For our members, we will extend your membership when we re-open to compensate for this downtime. As we are very dependent upon museum admissions for our annual operating revenue, this closure will have a significant impact on the museum. However, it is the right step to take from a public health standpoint. We hope to find ways to continue to earn your support during this unprecedented time and we look forward to opening our doors again and enjoying our unique, fun learning opportunities.
