INTERESTING PLACE

by portland_mike7456

The Portland Art Museum can have some interesting exhibits and has some intriguing works in their permenant art collection. It would be nice to go again and check out some new art, since I haven't been in awhile. I also am more knowledgeable about art, since I'm studying architecture at PSU.

  • Pros: Inexpensive, Good art, Great environment
  • Cons: Bad parking, Limited selection
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
