The Portland Art Museum has previewed its new four-story addition, which will open to the public on November 20, 2025. The 100,000-square-foot expansion connects the museum's two existing buildings and adds new gallery and public spaces, featuring a complete reinstallation of the collection with nearly 300 new acquisitions that have rarely or never been displayed before.
The opening marks a major milestone for the museum after a long construction period, and is seen by staff as a symbol of downtown Portland's rejuvenation. The expansion enhances the museum's role as a community hub for gathering and reflection, with free admission offered from November 20-23 to encourage broad public engagement.
