Portland Museum of Art. Photo Craig M. Becker "Look at a [Winslow] Homer seascape, there is order in it and grand formation.... You are made to feel the force of the sea, the resistance of the rock: the whole thing is an integrity of nature." Robert Henri, The Art Spirit, 1923 At each turn, a new treasure: a sun-struck landscape; a churning sea; the abstract patterns of a Cubist street scene; a gallery dappled with soft light; a visual experience like no other. In the heart of downtown Portland, the Portland Museum of Art houses a diverse collection of fine and decorative arts from the 18th century to the present. With an exciting year-round array of special exhibitions and programs, the Museum offers a dynamic view of American and European masterpieces including works by Mary Cassatt, Frederic Church, Edgar Degas, Marsden Hartley, Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Neil Welliver, and William and Marguerite Zorach. Showcased in three architecturally significant buildings, this world-class collection also focuses on Maine's unparalleled contribution to American art. Of special note is a body of 19 significant works by Winslow Homer.   Portland Museum of Art Seven Congress Square Portland, Maine 04101 207-775-6148 www.portlandmuseum.org Hours: Tues., Wed., Thu, Sat.,Sun., 10am-5pm Fri., 10am-9pm Memorial Day-Columbus Day, Mondays 10am-5pm Admission: $10 adults, $8 seniors and students, $4 youth ages 6-17, Free for children under 6
