Educators Get Free Access To Seven Portland Cultural Attractions

During the weeks of July 25–31 and August 8–14, educators are invited to visit the Japanese American Museum of Oregon, Lan Su Chinese Garden, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, the Oregon Historical Society, Portland Art Museum, Portland Chinatown Museum, and Pittock Mansion for free as well as take part in educator-focused events and tours. To access free admission, educators simply need to identify themselves as an educator at each institution’s admission desk (no school identification required).

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