The Portland Art Museum (PAM) in Portland, Oregon was established in 1892 with a collection of 100 plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures after several community leaders formed the Portland Art Association. More than a century later, its vast collection is celebrated for its holdings of Pacific Northwest art, Native Northwest Coast, Plateau and Western Oregon art, post-WWII American photography, and 25,000-plus prints, drawings, posters, and books dating back 500 years. It also is renowned for its Native American art, English silver, and graphic arts.
PAM remains committed to lifelong learning through education and community outreach programs, and its library is the area's most comprehensive visual arts resource that is open to the public. The museum is currently undergoing a $111 million expansion and renovation that will add 95,000 square feet, create new galleries, and join the museum's historic buildings when completed in late 2025.
