Super cute kids area. Hands on area with a reading nook that has a book shelf in the shape of Oregon, interactive sections, and information around and engaging. We havent made it upstairs yet but the 1st floor alone is great! More folks should stop pass. Its very interesting to see Oregons participation and effects on history, statewide and nationwide.
I am so glad I came! I learned a lot about the history of the city and of the state. I was unaware of a lot of the history, and what I did learn was mainly whitewashed. Not to say this was completely comprehensive, but this went into more depth than I realized. It should not have been any surprise that the natives were not treated well at all. I could seriously have spent way more time here than what I did. Reasonable admission prices, there is a lot of information presented here. I highly recommend this museum to anyone wanting to learn more about the state of Oregon.

We had a wonderful experience here! I want to say that the men and women who work behind the scenes on the exhibits go above and beyond and do an incredible job searching out and sifting through items and records to showcase history in a clear, honest, and interesting way. The new Yasui exhibit involves the family I married into and we were so honored and touched by the care taken in bringing our family history out so clearly and honestly. They were extremely gracious to the family members and we got a sneak peek of the exhibit. As for the rest of the place, we are going to have to go back to further explore all the treasures. They really showcase Oregon history and I believe they work hard to tell all the stories from many cultures living in our state. They said there is free admittance for Multnomah county residents! The only downside is they are located in downtown Portland and you will need to pay for parking and you may need to walk away. I believe there is a parking structure across the street and that might be a good option for some. It should be easy access for all, they have an elevator that my husband made use of because it is a large multi level place. If you don't know anything about the Japanese American internment camps during WW2, I highly encourage you to check out the Yasui exhibit telling local Japanese American history and highlighting a piece of often overlooked American history. This exhibit will be open for about a year. It is very personal and they got the stories straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.
A great museum! We spent good 3 hr or more there. If we had more time we could spend another couple of hrs there. History is like a mirror of our current issues. We came from so far and now we are being put back so far. Highly recommended to visit there.
The Oregon Historical Society museum was great! It's a fun and educational experience about Oregon's history and many different events. There are tons of exhibits and lots of artwork. The museum staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. The museum has four levels, with elevators and stairs. Would recommend checking it out. It's a great place to hang out with your family or visit by yourself.
