Museums in Portland

History and oddities

Although in Portland museums are not something they brag about, the city residents being prouder of Portland’s amazing gardens, it doesn’t mean that the museums are not attention worthy. Portland Children’s Museum is great for family adventures, while the Portland Art Museum is a true palace of the visual arts. There are also Portland museum dedicated to the odd and unconventional, like The Hat Museum and Stark’s Vacuum Museum. And let’s not forget Wells Fargo History Museum, which is free to visit, and features historic stagecoaches and more.
