Portland Art Museum

As a resident your best bet is to go Friday, post-5pm, when admission is $5. You have until 8pm; plenty of time to see the newer rotating exhibits , and the permanent displays at 1/4 of regular price.

Check their website every so often to see when temporary exhibits that interest you are going to be on display!

I truly appreciate fine arts so i'm really happy i had the chance to visit this place. Wish i had more time though. Incredible and fascinating arts they have. My favorite is Vision of Fiammetta, 1878

the collection is varied and interesting but this is one of the only museums i have been to where practically none of the art has a description beyond name, year and artist . hope you're an expert!

Always plan extra time and let yourself wander around. There are always a diverse selection of wonderful exhibits that deserve your time. Go slow and enjoy!

Much bigger than you might think. Current exhibits and old faves like Van Gogh! Free every fourth Friday!

A few interesting European pieces, a lovely Native American collection and a highly forgettable Pacific Northwest contemporary collection.

I love this museum - so much to explore. The Italian style exhibit was so inspiring.

Take the historic elevator for a ride. It's to the right as you enter. Watch your fingers though - the door is manually operated. Ask any staff member if you need help.

Love the exhibits especially the contemporary extension. Be prepared to walk up quite a few stairs

The oldest museum in the Northwest houses nearly 800 Japanese woodblock prints and indigenous work excavated from the Columbia River Gorge.

Currently the Liaka exhibit is going on and is fantastic.

Huge. Amazing and only $5 on fridays after 5pm instead if $20.

Very large museum . If you're a student you can sign up to come for an additional 6-8months for an extra two dollars. Check your Id in to use an iPod touch that narrates the current exhibit .

Andy Warhol exhibit was great, deep colors and combinations

Don't miss the internationally-acclaimed Portland Art Museum, also the oldest museum in the Pacific NorthWest. Stop by the NW Film Center and take in a film while you're there!

Great permanent collection and visiting exhibits David Hockney, Ai Weiwei and l'Ecole beaux arts exhibit

The special exhibit by PDX artist Arvie Smith was moving and artistically spectacular. This is one example.

Was just walking around the area and found the Museum . There is an awesome collection of art here

This is the 7th oldest museum in the US, and the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. Free every 4th Friday of every month, 5-8 pm.

Did you know? This is the oldest museum in the Pacific Northwest and the seventh oldest in the United States . The collection includes Native American, Asian, European and American art .

Rodin exhibition was awsome, also I was surprised by permanent exhibitions .

Support the arts in PDX and make today the day you buy a dual member pass.

Free Museum  admission on the first Thursday of every month from 5-8 pm.

Be sure to first both buildings! There's a tunnel in the basement connecting them.

Perfect afternoon. Enjoy the variety of classic and modern art .

Wonderful collection and great new exhibits - Louvre's Tuileries gardens

The special exhibits were great and worth admission . The modern wing is mediocre

You can take photos, but remember to turn off your flash before taking any pics. The museum 's staff will appreciate this.

If you're thinking of paying $5 for the Francis Bacon exhibit and, like me, are curious but not immensely passionate about Bacon then don't. It's a single triptych in a busy corridor. Total waste.

Enter and exit as you please! Just hold onto the ticket(s)

Super-broad permanent collection spans two large buildings.

Love the exhibits that change through every few months

Perfect for a rainy day!

Carrie Mae Weems photography exhibit - do not miss it! Actually plan to visit many times

Pretty nice selection of monets.

They have a free (w/admission) Baby Hour (guided tour ) the first Tuesday of every month.

Download Google Field Trip app and walk into the museum for free!

Beautiful pieces at the Early Chinese Art areas

Go to the Portland Art Museum. Head down to the Gilkey Gallery for the printed arts . The print exhibitions are always a treat. Read more

Check out Elliott Erwitt's photography while you're here! He captures wonderful light-hearted moments in a unique way. My favorite is "Las Vegas Nevada 1954"

Great for private events

They have piano outside to test your skills. It's free.

Ok ok, so this place isn't fabulous. Don't be a snob about it though, there's still some really good art here to enjoy.

Don't bring a stroller. The museum is on various floors and the elevator takes 5-10 minutes. We left after a few floors.

$5 after 5pm on Friday

It was pretty cool, they had art and what not.

Great exhibits that rotate through here. Pretty decent museum for the size of Portland.

Don't miss the amazing Asia collection!

@ a big members only museum party enjoying wine , good music , and my SPECIAL someone :^)
