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.

Happy Summer! This will be a very different summer for everyone. We will miss welcoming people into our museum space. MDM is not yet allowed to open, given the interactive nature of children's museums and the physical layout of our exhibits, as well as the fact that we share a building with an assisted living facility. However, our staff has been hard at work creating educational opportunities that emphasize our fun, hands-on methods for learning. We look forward to the day when we may safely re-open, but in the meantime, we hope you will enjoy these "100 S.T.E.A.M.y Days of Summer" and keep learning fun! Click here: 100 STEAMy Days of Summer

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.
