The Portland Puppet Museum in Sellwood presents changing displays devoted to puppetry.
Puppets and related objects from different traditions provide a small-scale cultural visit centered on the craft, performance and preservation of this art form.
Check the current exhibition and opening information before travelling. The operator advertises Thursday-through-Sunday afternoon and evening hours, with occasional closures while displays change. Workshops and live puppet shows have their own ticket and scheduling arrangements. The photograph shows the museum’s actual storefront exterior. A gallery visit and a live performance are different experiences, so confirm the activity you want rather than assuming a show takes place during every opening.
