The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium and Museum

@LoloPass

If you’re going to hit up one museum while you’re here, this is the spot. The $5 entrance fee is well worth the photo ops and microdose of Portland’s special brand of weird.

OMSI

@LoloPass

More formally: Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. They’ve always got great stuff showing in their theater and planetarium but our favorite event is OMSI After Dark. If this event is on during your stay, get tickets asap. The museum is open for adults only from 6‑10pm. Enjoy the exhibitions with food, drink, and the Portland cultural elite (ha! that’s not a thing but if it was, they’d be here).

Pittock Mansion

@LoloPass

If you’ve got wheels, this is a worthy stop for the privileged view of the city, alone. Take a tour of the mansion ‑ or don’t. Either way, visiting the grounds is a lovely excuse to venture up into the West Hills. A pit stop at Pittock pairs nicely with a visit to the Japanese or International Rose Test Gardens.

Portland Art Museum

@LoloPass

Don’t miss the Native American art in the permanent collection. The museum’s programmed exhibitions also feature local and native artists. Not actually in PDX or not ready to mix it up in public yet? Check out their FREE “Slow Looking” series on zoom!

Oregon Historical Society

@LoloPass

If your only historical knowledge of this area comes from an 80s video game, you might want to stop in and get smart. The inspo for our name came from a trip to this downtown gem. Let us know if you find the reference!
