Mark Building, Museum building and fraternal hall in Portland, US

The Mark Building is a museum building and event hall in Portland that serves as a key component of the Portland Art Museum. Its interior is divided into multiple galleries and function rooms arranged across several levels to accommodate both exhibitions and public gatherings.

The Mark Building was built as a Masonic Temple and was acquired by the Portland Art Museum in 1992. In 2005 Ann Beha Architects remodeled it as the Center for Modern and Contemporary Art. It was later connected to the museum's original building by the Rothko Pavilion, designed by Vinci Hamp Architects.

The building functions as a gathering place where art exhibitions, public talks, and community events invite people to experience creative work and connect with others. These activities shape how visitors interact with both the space and each other.

The building is centrally located and fully accessible to visitors, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and appropriate restroom facilities throughout. When planning a visit, allow time to navigate between the different gallery levels and event spaces comfortably.
