The Museum of Natural and Cultural History

At this world-class museum, visitors explore 15,000 years of Oregon's cultural history and 300 million years of its natural history and geology in a Northwest Coast longhouse-inspired building. From the world's oldest shoes to the giant spike-tooth salmon, the museum celebrates Oregon's deep history through striking imagery, rare artifacts and fossils, and hands-on displays for visitors of all ages. General admission is $6, youth and seniors are $4 and families are $12. Free admission on the first Friday each month. Visit the museum's website for the most current information about public hours.
