Meet our Mascots

The Maine Discovery Museum team has identified seven animals that are as important to MDM and Maine. You can learn more about them on our Mascots page!

Our Impact

The Maine Discovery Museum is a critical player in helping Mainers learn, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We have three floors of interactive exhibits and robust science programming within and outside the museum, and both paths introduce Mainers to the value and importance of discovery and exploration. You can read more about our work and impact in our Impact Report.
