  • Portland Art Museum is a nice museum houses good collection of works related to American Art, European Art, Chinese Art, and sculptures from Asia, China. The Art works displayed are very beautiful. The paintings of last decades/centuries are superb. Native American Art is also very beautiful. Museum Store has collection of Arts and Crafts. One can buy collectors items as a memory of the visit to museum. Overall a very good experience.
  • We went shortly after it opened and it wasn't too busy for a weekday. Lots of different styles and tastes to view. So much history and beauty to behold. Definitely a place to check out as their exhibits change every so often.
