From July 27–August 9, Oregon and Washington educators are invited to visit the Japanese American Museum of Oregon, Lan Su Chinese Garden, Maryhill Museum of Art, Oregon Historical Society, and Portland Chinatown Museum for free as well as take part in educator-focused events and tours.

Educators can let staff at each institution’s admissions desk know that they are an educator to access free admission (no school identification required).

Local cultural attractions are powerful resources for educators, offering resources and programs to support educators’ work in classrooms. From professional development workshops to state standards-aligned curriculum and lesson plans to digital resources, educators can access a wide range of tools to enhance their teaching at no cost.

Educators are encouraged to take advantage of these free admission weeks to learn about the unique resources available at each institution as well as participate in special events and tours created specifically for teachers.
