CURRENT & UPCOMING EXHIBITS
Sprout Spot: A new birth-to-age-3 experience
The Museum welcomes a new birth-to-age-3 experience to our family of exhibits! Re-envisioned with our youngest problem- solvers in mind, this sensory-rich environment will foster intimate, playful connection through light and materials. Opens November 7.
Twilight Trail
Our newly remodeled Twilight Trail transports families to a glowing campfire scene with starry sky, raindrop waterfall and ice cave. In this dim forest, light play abounds. Look up for a view of the moon.
Clay Studio
One of the most unique art spaces for children in Portland, this fully working studio offers a self-led, sensory “making” experience. A membership means access to firing and glazing at a low price year-round.
