What travelers are saying
- NewillDBIndianapolis, IN434 contributionsWe were amazed at this collection. The range is from "typical" Wyeth works to features of other - very good - artists. Could have spent more than an hour - especially if you go to the adjacent "church"Written June 27, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LovesPhotoOpsHoover, AL775 contributionsWe enjoyed this museum very much. The exhibits are all in one large room but there is a lot to see. We spent 1.5 hours there. They have a lot of artifacts such as lights and lenses; historical photos; and some large models of certain Maine lighthouses. They have good explanations posted with most items telling how they were used. Some of the descriptions told details about the duties and daily lives of the lighthouse keepers. There are restrooms by the entrance, and a nice gift shop as you exit. Admission was $10, less for seniors.Written July 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LovesPhotoOpsHoover, AL775 contributionsWe were looking forward to our puffin cruise out of Bar Harbor later in the week, so when we saw this place it caught our eye and we went in. They showed a 20-minute film about their research and ongoing efforts to boost the puffin populations in Maine, and it was very interesting and encouraging. The room where the film is shown contains some exhibits about the life of a puffin. There are restrooms and a gift shop.Written July 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- AlcesterMartynAlcester, UK457 contributionsVery difficult to add anything to the comments of the previous reviewers. We were also lucky to walk in when Captain Jim Sharp was commencing a story and were still enthralled 90 minutes later. The only downside to Jim's enthusiasm for the museum is there are so many other exhibits that you might miss out on. I could certainly have spent more than 4 hours here and would recommend anyone with an interest in Maritime History to visit this museum as well as the Maine Lighthouse Museum which is also in Rockland.Written June 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Anna P29 contributionsThis museum was not only interesting but had such a cool exhibit of pieces of wood made to represent water. You could walk on the paths of wood/water. Not very expensive to get in and worth it.Written August 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- teacherteacher12345Bangor, ME3 contributionsThis is a wonderful place for children to explore!

- CzmingHenderson, NV1 contributionBeautiful gallery. We enjoyed looking around the gallery and seeing the artwork. The staff was very friendly. We will definitely return.Written October 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- NieSamMaine910 contributionsWe stopped here to see the Zen Exhibit. The work was varied with a variety of mediums displayed. It was all spectacular! The owner was engaging, informative and helpful. If you’re into gardening, be sure to check out the Camperdown elm arbor as you approach the gallery.Written February 20, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- piperRockland, ME1 contributionThe first time I visited The Landing gallery was in 2016. We have purchased a piece here every year to commemorate our time sailing in Maine each summer. Everyime we walk by we stop in, and each time the selection is different. Our favorite gallery in Maine.Written July 2, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- brooksgalleryRaleigh, NC87 contributionsThis is a great gallery with a large variety of work. Being an artist myself it would be the exact place I would want my work to be shown. Wonderful place...Written August 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MaineisleGalOwls Head, ME49 contributionsThe RHS has a huge amount of information about Rockland and environs. The folks there are enthusiastic and know so much about the area’s history. This is a great stop when visiting downtown Rockland. It is located in the lower level of the beautiful Rockland Public Library.Written July 13, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- NHjoSaco, ME4,947 contributionsImpressive works of art that epitomize Maine by several artists in all kinds of mediums. Most of the items were a bit beyond my budget, but they were wonderful to look at.Written September 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- 843kendralBenton, ME2 contributionsFor the lighthouse lovers this is a gem!
What we didn't like was the time we they were closed for the season. They will re-open in the spring 2015.Written December 31, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - KikNhNH34 contributionsWonderful owners with a non-shaming approach to teaching the beginner to experienced glass worker!
