4 stars is for the admission price. I thoroughly enjoyed the museum for about 3 hours, but you may not love paying full price. ($20 in 2019)Be warned the museum is labyrinthine. I recommend grabbing the map and a pen and checking off every place you visit, to ensure that you see all the exhibits. I had walked the entire building, never using an elevator, and was about to leave when I realized one of the (3 total) other exits had displays near it.
Love art, great visiting on a rainy day. Good to have map in hand as one can get confused wondering around looking for a specific exhibit. Gift shop is amazing. Some art I could live without, but plenty of absolutely incredible pieces. Good art history adventure
Definitely worth the price. I kinda rushed through the visit cos I was short on time but I recommend setting aside a good chunk of your day for this. The museum is simply huge! The contemporary art section is definitely the highlight of the museum for me. Also, I think they have specific sections of the museum dedicated to rotating cultures/categories, so keep that in mind. All in all, a must visit if you're in Portland!
My son and I spent hours here...Realism and Japanese exhibits were astounding! Not sure what is permanent and what is evolving but if you are in Portland it is easy to access and a pleasure to wander. We were there a few days before Christmas so the attendance was light which may have made the experience better...there was time to analyze and experience the art without having to sidestep anyone. We didn't avail ourselves of the guided tours but did notice they were available.
I checked out the museum during their free hours (5-8 pm on the first Thursday of every month) and it was lovely. This was my second time going and quite a bit of the material was the same, which I didn't realize. I like that because if you can only afford to go on the free days, you can just go once a month and still see absolutely everything. The travelling exhibits were really enjoyable too. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
