The Ogunquit Museum of American Art (OMAA) is a small art museum.[1] It sits on three acres on the coast of Ogunquit, Maine, at 543 Shore Road, and houses over 1,600 pieces in its permanent collection.[2] It is the only museum in Maine devoted solely to American art.[1]
History
The OMAA was founded in 1953 by Henry Strater. He chose architect Charles S. Worley Jr. to create the building it is housed in.[3] The museum has since gone through multiple renovations and additions.

- A complete set of the graphic works of Jack Levine
