About Farnsworth Art Museum

The Farnsworth Art Museum celebrates Maine's role in American art, with nearly 16,000 works across about 20,000 square feet of galleries. You can see paintings by Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam and Rockwell Kent, plus one of the largest public collections of Louise Nevelson's sculpture. The Wyeth Center holds work by N.C., Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, and the museum also runs the Olson House in Cushing, which inspired Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World.
