**Portland Art Museum Announces Opening Date for $111M Expansion**
The Portland Art Museum (PAM) has announced that its expanded and renovated campus will officially open to the public on November 20, 2025.
The project, which adds nearly 100,000 square feet, enhances accessibility by connecting the museum’s historic buildings and creating new galleries to showcase reinstalled permanent collections.
Designed in collaboration between Portland-based Hennebery Eddy Architects and Chicago-based Vinci Hamp Architects, this expansion represents one of the most significant capital investments in the arts in Oregon’s history. The project will introduce nearly 100,000 square feet of new or upgraded public and gallery space, providing greater access to exhibitions and programs while also improving amenities.
“The new PAM will create a dynamic destination for the arts, reinvigorating our city and offering expanded opportunities to engage audiences with art from around Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and the world,” said Brian Ferriso, Director of the Portland Art Museum.
This extensive renovation and expansion mark a transformative moment for the museum, reinforcing its role as a cultural hub in the region.
