The Umbrella Cover Museum is a unique and quirky museum located on Peaks Island, Maine. It was founded in 1996 by Nancy 3. Hoffman, who is also known as the "Chief Umbrellaologist." The museum is dedicated to displaying a vast collection of umbrella covers from all over the world.

The museum is housed in a small building that was once a soda fountain and gift shop. The interior is painted in bright colors and adorned with umbrella-themed decorations such as parasols hanging from the ceiling. The museum's collection includes over 2,000 umbrella covers, each of which is displayed in a glass case with a label detailing its origin and history.

Visitors to the Umbrella Cover Museum can expect to see covers made from a variety of materials, including silk, nylon, and plastic. Some covers feature intricate designs, while others are plain and functional. The museum also features a gift shop where visitors can purchase their own umbrella covers or souvenir items such as t-shirts and postcards.

In addition to its unique collection, the Umbrella Cover Museum also hosts events and exhibits throughout the year. These include umbrella-themed art shows and workshops, as well as talks by guest speakers on topics related to umbrellas and rain gear. Overall, the Umbrella Cover Museum is a fun and quirky destination for anyone looking to explore the world of umbrella covers.
