On Wednesday, July 18, 2012, the Abbe Museum will host our annual fund raising dinner and auction!
Like last year, this event will be held at the Bar Harbor Club to benefit the Abbe Museum’s initiatives and mission to inspire new learning about the Wabanaki Nations with every visit.
Tickets to the gala are $125 per person, and will be available for purchase starting in May.
The Abbe Museum also invites you to sponsor this magical evening which supports the operating and programmatic costs of a world-class museum with an 82-year history. In addition to supporting our mission, your sponsorship offers a unique marketing opportunity. Learn more about sponsorship. >
