The Portland Art Museum is an art museum in Portland, Oregon, occupying two buildings connected by an underground gallery. The collection spans over 42,000 works from different periods and includes European paintings, photography, and contemporary art.
The museum was founded in 1892, beginning in a public library room before becoming one of the oldest art institutions in the Pacific Northwest. These modest beginnings shaped its commitment to making art accessible to everyone.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursday and Friday until 8 PM. Guided tours are available in multiple languages to help visitors explore the collections.
The museum houses the Northwest Film Center, which screens independent and classic films throughout the year in the Whitsell Auditorium. This film program is an important cultural venue supporting cinema in the region.
