Portland Art Museum Collection

The museum's collection is constantly changing as some pieces are loaned out and artworks from other museums are borrowed. This keeps the museum interesting, as there is something new to see on each visit. Outstanding traveling exhibitions that change often also add to the museum's appeal.
