A midcoast native is opening the 1st virtual lobster museum

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 25, 2025

After eight months of planning, designing, researching and building, a Belfast native is getting ready to open a new museum for Maine’s most famous crustacean. The Maine Lobster Museum will feature colorful, wide-ranging exhibits on everything from how lobsters have been caught over the years, to their biology, to their role in American pop culture. And it will be open to visitors anywhere in the world, at any time. That’s because the museum isn’t a brick-and-mortar space, but rather, a virtual resource available to anyone online.
