Brunswick art lovers have reason to rejoice. After more than a year shuttered due to the pandemic, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art will reopen its doors to visitors starting July 1.
With the reopening, the museum will present four new exhibitions along with re-examination of the museum’s collection in a new Bowdoin gallery installation.
“We are looking forward to welcoming people back to the museum,” said Frank Goodyear, art co-director of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art.

As many as 467 students at Bowdoin College are set to graduate on Saturday. Unlike last year and despite the COVID-19 pandemic, college officials have decided to hold an in-person commencement ceremony.
Though the Center for Disease Control has eased COVID-19 mask rules, all students, faculty, staff and guests are required to wear face masks throughout the ceremony. However, the college officials are not requiring social-distancing.
“Our graduating seniors have been a part of the college’s rigorous COVID-19 testing protocol. All the students will be seated in a traditional manner, provided they have received negative test results,” said college spokesman Doug Cook.
