This museum was established in 1882 by the society named Portland Society of Art in the Downtown area of the city. Initially there was enough room for exhibitions but 1908 a lady donated her mansion to museum and created a big museum with more room to collect art pieces. It was opened as a part of museum in 1911. In 1976 the museum was donated a large amount of money along with some master pieces of art. After that a rapid expansion took place due to the addition of the Homers paintings. It has a vast collection of art pieces from all around the world. According to a survey there are approximately 17000 art pieces, this collection consist of the Art From the 18th century to the present time. Healthy additions are being done in it. It is the only museum in United States that has the largest collection of European art. The collections in the museum are of Wilson Homer, Marsden, Hartley, John Martin, Louise Nevelson. The European collection consists of the work of Edgar Degas, Rene Magritte, Claude Monet, Edward Munch and many more. The building is the combine mixture of three centuries and is worth seeing. The second most important museum is the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. It was founded in 1903. At start the artifacts were displayed here. Long after that it was decided by the authorities to change it into a museum of science and industry. So in 1949 a building was bought for this purpose and the museum was set up. Then time to time expansions were done to increase the capacity of visitors. More and more attractive things were placed in the museum like planetarium. Now at present time Oregon Museum of Science and Industry have four different types of specialized halls, a planetarium and a submarine exhibit for the people. The submarine exhibit was included after the purchase of USS Blueback (SS-581) in 1994. The submarine is open for public visitors and tours. The hall that is used for the exhibition of some special things is called Featured Exhibit Hall. It exhibits things from the museum or that are brought to exhibit from all around the world. The science hall is called Turbine Hall due to a turbine. This hall exhibits all the science stuff related to physics, chemistry, space and engineering. This hall has two parts, one is purely dedicated to physics and other is the other science exhibit area. The third hall is about biology and called the Life Science Hall. It is on the second floor.
