Parking and Accessibility
The Museum does not have a public parking lot. However, as we are located in the heart of downtown Bangor, ample public parking is available nearby.
Both of the Museum’s entrances, on Harlow Street and on the Kenduskeag Stream side, are wheelchair accessible. Norumbega Hall, the building in which the Museum is located, has an elevator that visitors may use to go between the Museum’s two levels of gallery space.
While Norumbega Hall has no public restrooms, Museum visitors may ask guest relations staff for restroom access.
Service animals are welcome.
Please call (207) 581-3300 if you have specific questions regarding accessibility.
Tips for a good visit
