UMaine Museum of Art mentioned in Matador Network’s list of ‘coolest towns’
The city of Bangor was included in the Matador Network’s 2017 list of the “24 coolest towns in the USA.” Instead of relying on data, the list was created using “people’s stories from the road,” according to the article. “Ultimately what we sought was originality,” the article states. “The kind of place you’d be stoked to call home, even if for just a few days.” Bangor was described as having many talented musicians and a vibrant arts scene, including the University of Maine Museum of Art and Penobscot Theatre Co.
