- 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.
- Timothy McSwainJune 6, 2017Check their website every so often to see when temporary exhibits that interest you are going to be on display!
- CocoOctober 14, 2013I 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
- Elizabeth L. GreppMarch 20, 2014the 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!
- Gehlen ExumSeptember 29, 2014Much bigger than you might think. Current exhibits and old faves like Van Gogh! Free every fourth Friday!
- Wilson Favre-DelerueNovember 5, 2016A few interesting European pieces, a lovely Native American collection and a highly forgettable Pacific Northwest contemporary collection.
- Trish PeachApril 5, 2015I 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.
- Nauman NoorJune 8, 2015Love the exhibits especially the contemporary extension. Be prepared to walk up quite a few stairs
- Travel + LeisureJune 5, 2014The oldest museum in the Northwest houses nearly 800 Japanese woodblock prints and indigenous work excavated from the Columbia River Gorge.
- EverydayJanuary 7, 2013Very 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.
- PDX makrsJuly 6, 2011Don'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!
- J.d. MareshJuly 18, 2015Great permanent collection and visiting exhibits David Hockney, Ai Weiwei and l'Ecole beaux arts exhibit
- K12 IncJune 14, 2011Did 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.
- David HamiltonSeptember 3, 2016The special exhibit by PDX artist Arvie Smith was moving and artistically spectacular. This is one example.
- Victor ChenJuly 18, 2015Was just walking around the area and found the Museum. There is an awesome collection of art here
- ELS Language CentersMay 7, 2012This 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.
- Deirdre RuizApril 6, 2017Rodin exhibition was awsome, also I was surprised by permanent exhibitions.
- 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.
- Amy RobertsonApril 27, 2018The special exhibits were great and worth admission. The modern wing is mediocre
- Tara ThelenSeptember 10, 2012You can take photos, but remember to turn off your flash before taking any pics. The museum's staff will appreciate this.
- Fred Stevens-SmithMarch 28, 2014If 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.
- Carrie Mae Weems photography exhibit - do not miss it! Actually plan to visit many times
- Ming LeeJanuary 3, 2012They have a free (w/admission) Baby Hour (guided tour) the first Tuesday of every month.
- Michael PozyckiApril 16, 2010Check 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"
- They have piano outside to test your skills. It's free.
- Marshall KirkpatrickAugust 15, 2011Ok 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.
- Michelle BlakeOctober 2, 2013Don't bring a stroller. The museum is on various floors and the elevator takes 5-10 minutes. We left after a few floors.
- Michael AnthonySeptember 3, 2010Great exhibits that rotate through here. Pretty decent museum for the size of Portland.
- Terence HutchMarch 16, 2012@ a big members only museum party enjoying wine , good music , and my SPECIAL someone :^)
