Portsmouth Museum of Art Homeless

Non-profit group has moved out of its former space at One Harbour Place and is looking for a new location.

The Portsmouth Museum of Art is searching for a new home in the city after it officially moved out of its former home at One Harbour Place.

In an e-mail sent this morning by museum officials, the PMA is currently looking at several potential sites in the city where it can relocate. The e-mail noted that the museum had been located at One Harbour Place for two years since it first opened in 2009.

"We've been working to find a new location for the Portsmouth Museum of Art - one that will allow us to present even more diverse and interesting work from 21-century emerging artists worldwide. We look forward to sharing more details after the New Year," the e-mail reads.

She said then the museum needs a bigger space where it can accommodate more people and bring in larger exhibits.
