Oregon Film Museum, Film museum in Astoria, United States.
The Oregon Film Museum occupies a former county jail building and features exhibits about movies produced across the state since the early 1900s. The space showcases items and displays that tell the story of how filmmaking developed in this region.
The building was constructed in 1913 and served as Clatsop County Jail until 1976. After that, it was converted into a museum to preserve and share the story of filmmaking in Oregon.
The museum displays props, costumes, and memorabilia from productions filmed across Oregon, including The Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy, and Twilight. These objects show how the state became a working hub for filmmakers over many decades.
The museum is located in downtown Astoria and is easily walkable from nearby streets. Plan to spend a couple of hours exploring the exhibits and interactive areas at your own pace.
Visitors can create their own short films using provided sets and green screens inside actual former jail cells that appeared in multiple movies. This hands-on activity connects the building's past as a prison with the experience of making films.
