Museum of Science and Industry
Founded in 1944 and one
of the nation's top ten science museums, OMSI is a world-class tourist
attraction and educational resource that puts the
"WOW!" in science for the kid in each of us. Five
exhibit halls and eight science labs offer 219,000 square feet of
brain-powered fun through hundreds of interactive exhibits and hands-on
demonstrations. OMSI's multi-attraction complex features a big screen
OMNIMAX® Theater, the Northwest's largest
planetarium, and the
USS Blueback, the last fast-attack, diesel-powered submarine built
by the U.S. Navy and after serving for 31 years, the last of its kind to
be decommissioned.
In addition to enjoying
one of the featured
exhibits at temporary display at OMSI, you can touch a tornado,
uncover a fossil, surf the internet, enter the world of virtual reality,
experience an earthquake, or simply experiment on your own in one of our
many hands-on labs. OMSI also offers a variety of
camps
and
classes as well as one of the largest
outreach programs in the nation, taking innovative science and
technology education "on the road" to students, teachers and the public
in seven Western states. OMSI is located on the east side of the scenic
Willamette River in downtown Portland.
*Portland Art Museum
Representing
the culmination of a ten-year, $125-million master plan of expansion and
growth, the Portland Art Museum completed the massive project to
preserve and renovate the adjacent 141,000 square-foot Mark Building in
October 2005. The new building provides greater accessibility to the
Museum’s growing collections and programs and engages the next
generation of museum-goers.
The Museum began its
renovation and comprehensive restoration of the Mark Building in
February 2004. The Mark Building features the new Center for Modern and
Contemporary Art, two magnificent ballrooms,
a
33,000-volume Art Study Center and Library, headquarters for the NW
Film Center, newly refurbished curatorial and administrative offices,
and an underground “link” gallery that connects the Mark Building with
the Museum’s historic Belluschi Building, designed by renowned architect
Pietro Belluschi.
*Children's Museum
Our
new home in the heart of Washington Park, just across from the Oregon
Zoo, has three
times more usable space and exhibits for kids from babies through 10
years old. You can take
MAX, ride Tri-Met bus #63 or drive to our convenient location and
park for free. This $9.9 million project is a joint partnership between
the Children's Museum, Rotary International District 5100 and Portland
Parks and Recreation.
*World Forestry Discovery Museum
Founded
in 1964 in Portland, Oregon, the World Forestry Center is a nonprofit
educational institution. Our mission is to educate and inform people
about the
world's forests and trees, and their importance to all life, in order to
promote a balanced and sustainable future.
Our 20,000 square foot
museum is located in Portland's beautiful Washington Park. Built in
dramatic Cascadian style architecture, you'll marvel at the intricate
hand carvings and grand entry outside, and delight in all new exhibits
inside. The museum reopened on June 30, 2005 after a $7 million,
6-month renovation. All new hands-on, interactive exhibits are family
friendly and designed to engage visitors to learn about the
sustainability of forests and trees of the Pacific Northwest and around
the world.
*Oregon History Center
The OHS artifacts collection
comprises over 85,000 artifacts, including ancient objects from the
earliest settlements, and objects that illustrate exploration in the

artwork and crafts, and maritime history, among many other topics.
