The Portland Art Museum is the seventh oldest museum in the United States and the oldest on the West Coast. The Museum is internationally recognized for its permanent collection and ambitious special exhibitions, drawn from the Museum’s holdings and the world’s finest public and private collections. The Museum’s collection of more than 42,000 objects, displayed in 112,000 square feet of galleries, reflects the history of art from ancient times to today. The collection is distinguished for its holdings of art of the native peoples of North America, English silver, and the graphic arts. An active collecting institution dedicated to preserving great art for the enrichment of future generations, the Museum devotes 90 percent of its gallery space to its permanent collection. The Museum’s campus of landmark buildings, a cornerstone of Portland’s cultural district, includes the Jubitz Center for Modern and Contemporary Art, the Gilkey Center for Graphic Arts, and the Northwest Film Center. With a membership of over 23,000 households and serving more than 350,000 visitors annually, the Museum is a premier venue for education in the visual arts.
Portland is a good travel city which is the largest city in Oregon and second largest city in the Pacific Northwest. This is a very urban city but it is not great as some larger cities. There are many lush parks, forest park and the park is variety of plants, trails, and wildlife in the hills west of Downtown. So for visiting purpose I search cheap hotels in portland on Internet and I got numbers of hotels in Newport and I reserve cheap hotels. The people who live in Portland love their city and while them encourage tourists to visit but not stay. The love of Portland is not limited to local citizens.

The choice of hotels worldwide is extremely large and you can never find the right place to stay, unless you rely on expert advice and guest reviews.
