Reviews
"This is just what portland needs. Displays of items are incredible"
"When you step through the Museum's doors, from the busy, brightly colored, retail store, into the calm, darkness of the Museum, it feels like you've stepped into another world! A world where you are drawn to the exhibits and the brilliant, light sparkling off the intricate artworks in the cases. The rest of the world melts away as you are drawn from one glittering specimen to the next. The mammoth wall of 6 inch squares, a community project that happened during the depths on the COVID pandemic, is definitely a beautiful centerpiece to the Museum. It is amazing how these tiny beads can come together into fantastical creations from beaders, just like me, all over the world. Definitely worth the trip!!!"
"Just opened today, a really lovely collection with several nicely curated exhibits showcasing a range of beadwork. Really excited to see the community projects come together over the last few years. If you want to see a unique perspective on a routinely overlooked artform its definitely worth checking out."
"Came from California and expected to get at least a preview of the museum but it’s closed until the grand opening."
