"The Beauty of Decline: Photographs of the Way Way Store by Annie Lemieux" captures the iconic general store and neighborhood meeting spot in a moment of picturesque decay, before it was restored and re-opened to the public in 2011.

Moving Panorama of Pilgrim's Progress - Saco Museum

371 Main Street
Saco, Maine 04072
 Phone: (207) 283-3861

          

Jun 30 thru Nov 10, 2012. More than 15 years of research and restoration will conclude in June at the Saco Museum with a major exhibition and public programs focused on the Moving Panorama of Pilgrim's Progress. This summer marks the completion of a major grant-funded project to conserve this national treasure of 19th-century American art, which was thought lost for 100 years and rediscovered only in 1996. For the first time since the 1860s, the entire historic panorama - 800 feet of vibrantly painted muslin canvas, in four sections - will be on view in two downtown locations, the Saco Museum and the historic Pepperell Mills. Live performances of a full-scale, modern replica will recreate the historic experience of seeing a moving panorama in action, while the debut of a web-based film animation will introduce the panorama to a global audience. Gallery talks and family activities will also be offered through the summer and fall, including a day-long public symposium with distinguished scholars scheduled for September 21-22, 2012. The Moving Panorama of Pilgrim’s Progress will be on view June 30 through November 10, 2012; an opening reception will take place on Saturday, June 30.
