Käthe Kollwitz (Germany, 1867-1945), Half-Length Portrait of a Working Woman with Blue Shawl, at Portland Museum of Art.

How about a wonderful, wandering art-filled day trip (or two) through Seacoast New Hampshire and north to Portland?

Sometimes it’s just plain exhilarating to jump in the convertible, head north to Maine (or whichever direction you begin from), and simply have fun. Let’s take a leisurely trip and check out some art venues. This trip covers everything from a start-up museum in an up-and-coming artsy town, to a chi-chi boutique-y gallery in Kittery, Maine, a historic former library for one spot and a long-standing prep school art gallery for another, and ends at a well-respected, established museum in Portland.

Let’s get going — depending on how much viewing time you need this can be a whirlwind day or an entire weekend!
