If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive way to take in some culture, the Portland Art Museum has you covered.
Driving the news: Among the art museums in major cities, ours is one of the cheaper options at $25 for a full day pass.
Plus: Later this year, the Portland Art Museum will be unveiling a years-long, $111 million expansion with a new pavilion and nearly 300 newly acquired works.
Between the lines: The museum offers free days on the first Thursday of every month from 10am to 7pm.
