In Short – Founded in 1892, Portland Art Museum is the oldest museum of its kind in the region and has one of the most comprehensive collections on the West Coast. It houses art of the Pacific Rim, Europe and Asia. Outstanding traveling exhibitions add to the museum's wide-ranging representation of international, regional and local art. There's also an auditorium and an education center.

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

I love the Portland Art Museum. I went there on a field trip once for my art class. It was great! I saw Monet's Waterlillies and a lot of other great art! :) Go there!
