Welcome

Songbirds call, colorful plumage appears, the cold fades away, and energy fills the air. It is spring in Maine.  The Gilley Museum celebrated the season's arrival by springing open with an open house and carving show on May 6th.   The fine-feathered flock of robins and other birds created by members during the winter months was on parade before a great gaggle of friends.  Through May, the Museum is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am - 4 pm.  Visit our other pages for more information about hours, programs and membership.  Your're invited!

The Wendell Gilley Museum is a community center that celebrates the life and work of Wendell Gilley, a pioneer in the field of decorative bird carving. It teaches the art of bird carving and presents art exhibitions and educational programs with a special focus on people, nature and art. The Museum endeavors to inspire appreciation of the visual arts, engagement in artistic creativity, and respect and care for the natural world.
