The Portland Museum of Art (PMA) in Maine closed on its purchase of a new building in the city’s downtown, as well as two adjacent parking lots late last month.

The building, previously owned by MaineHealth, a major regional hospital system and the largest private employer in the state, was sold for $14 million.

The plan is for the PMA to move its administrative offices to the new Free Street building, which is next door to the museum as a way to open up space for more galleries in its main building.
