Portland Museums You Don't Want to Miss

We celebrate culture and the arts with our festivals, theater and music scene, and of course, there is no shortage of museums to visit in the city. From the science and history museums to more peculiar collections that celebrate our “weird” spirit, these are some of our most popular museums.
