New exhibitions are open now and another will open on 11/26. Its a pleasure to walk through collections of art by NW painters, print makers, and others.

It was sadly empty when we went (sad because this little museum has some great stuff and deserves more attention, though fun to have an entire art museum to ourselves!) But the staff was lovely and helpful and they had some very cool pieces and exhibits. Worth a visit.

Really enjoyed visiting this little museum( felt a lot like a gallery) Permanent exhibits of ancient artifacts, coins,icons, eastern and western were a happy surprise. Downstairs modern Oregon artist works on display. Very nice, small but wonderfully curated, gift shop. Enjoyed my,stumbled upon it, visit! Visited after the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Capitol which just happened to fall on a free admission day.. My granddaughter really enjoyed the interactive exhibits

This is a lovely little museum which is a delight to walk through. If you are looking for old world masters be warned that this is not the National Gallery in Washington DC... the do have a small gallery of masters but no extensive display of impressionists, or renaissance masters. Rather this is a well presented collection of different art which becomes a satisfying journey away from the current Trumpian disgust. There is something for everyone. Even though my friend and I have visited many European national galleries we still find this museum to be very satisfying, and visit two or three times a year. Well worth the visit. Watch for special exhibits to tailor your trip to your own tastes.

Its a small but good museum. In particular the latest George Rodriguez sculpture show is really good, even kept my 4yo entertained. The permanent exhibit is very small but has a Rodin and some interesting Asian art.

I was visiting to do some research on their Grand Ronde Gallery and I loved the experience I got. I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any assistance finding certain exhibits, which I did. The lady helping me also saw my notebook and informed me that I could only use a pencil to take notes. Since I only had a pen on my person, she let me barrow a pencil. The art was spectacular and Id love to visit again.

This is a medium sized museum that has much to offer art enthusiasts. The exhibits change regularly, and it has had many impressive shows. The private collection of contemporary and historical works is also very impressive. The Hallie Ford Art Museum is located near the state capitol and Willamette University. During our visit, the exhibits were of art created by native Americans and art that showed the sun, moon or stars.

A surprisingly good museum for where it is located. Willamette is able to draw major installments and they often staff with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Great place hidden away with other major attractions but a positive experience waiting to be had.
