Richard Boyd Art Gallery Tours

Aristotle famously once said that "the aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." The relevance of this great quote will not be lost when you spend time viewing the collection at Richard Boyd Art Gallery.

Richard Boyd Art Gallery is a great place to begin discovering Peaks Island. This display of artworks is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other sights like Portland Head Light, Portland Museum of Art, and University of Southern Maine to really enjoy what the area has to offer.

Hotel is located in a great spot, easy to walk to town. Room was nice and clean. It looked like the property needed overall maintenance. Lots of flaking paint and wood rot.
