Psst... We’ll let you in on a secret: On the first Thursday of each month, visitors can explore Portland Art Museum for free from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

During their visit on Thursday, Aug. 1, Portlanders can enjoy:

  • “Monet to Matisse: French Moderns”
  • “Pissarro to Picasso: Masterworks on Loan from the Kirkland Family Collection”
  • “Throughlines: Connections in the Collection”
  • And the final weeks of “Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks”

Pro tip: Free First Thursday tickets can be reserved online one week in advance.

Plan your visit.
