The Portland Art Museum is located downtown and has a wonderful schedule of events. Recently, I saw its "Hesse, A Princely German Collection" which has beautiful paintings, including a Holbein and Winterhalters, and 3 stunning diamond tiaras belonging to the Hesse family. Its next big event is "The Quest for Immortality, Treasures of Ancient Egypt " which will be on exhibition from Nov. 5, 2006 through March 4, 2007. Leave a Comment

 OMSI from the River by TashieKitten
If you've got kids, OMSI is a fun educational experience. Their exhibits are forever changing from things like robotic dinosaurs to creepy crawlies (would you handle a centipede from the Amazon?) to things like the human body (how do germs get in your nose?) and other neat things all displayed for children to understand. It's a hands on approach too...you can touch mostly anything you dare.
OMSI is also the home to the USS Blueback submarine, which was featured in the move The Hunt for Red October. Submarine tours are seperate from the rest of the museum and technical tours are offered once a month. http://www.omsi.edu/visit/submarine/
There is also a planetarium and an IMAX projection theater. You can also catch a laser light show in the planetarium. Leave a Comment Address: 1945 SE Water Avenue Portland, OR 97214-3354Phone: 503-797-4642Directions: SE Portland, by the Willamette RiverWebsite: http://www.omsi.edu

Step through the doors of the Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry (OMSI) and enter a world of
discovery and imagination, touch a tornado, experience an earthquake and journey through the galaxy at the Murdock Planetarium.
This playground for the mind includes hands-on fun, live demonstrations, laser shows, laboratory experiments, and classes and camps for all ages. Climb aboard the USS Blueback submarine, experience the state-of-the-art and travel the world in a five-story OMNIMAX Theater, and check out the exhibit hall featuring national touring exhibitions.
