"Maine Eats"
Exhibit
We are excited to host a reinstallation of the "Maine Eats" exhibit from Maine Historical Society!
​
This exhibit was originally displayed at MHS in 2018 and will be displayed temporarily at Maine Tasting Center through October 2024.
It's a work in progress!
The Discovery Center, a 1,800 sq. ft. exhibit hall, currently displays a temporary exhibit. Behind the scenes, our staff is hard at work collaborating with a professional exhibit design firm to create permanent interactive exhibits that will highlight Maine state food and drink associations and the producers they represent.
​
Starting in 2025, you will be able to stroll through the space and learn more about the mission, products and producers of each association. Want to learn more about who will be included in the exhibit? Check out the Alliance of Maine Food Producers - each member will have space in the Discovery Center's permanent exhibits.
​
Maine Food and Beverage Education Center is working hard on this project - but we still have a lot to do! Help us get there with a donation to the project fund.
