Oregon Historical Society

The Oregon Historical Society is dedicated to making Oregon’s long, rich history visible and accessible to all. For more than a century, we have served as the state’s collective memory, gathering and preserving a vast collection of artifacts, photographs, films, manuscripts, books, and oral histories. It exists because history is powerful and because a history as deep and rich as Oregon’s cannot be contained within a single story or point of view.

The Oregon Historical Society offers self-guided tours of its permanent and rotating exhibitions for groups of 10 to 100 people. The Hilton Portland Downtown is a 5-minute walk from the Historical Society. PLMA transportation will not be planned for this event.

Portland Art Museum

Coming to the Portland Art Museum from the Bata Shoe Museum in Canada, "Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks" is a groundbreaking new exhibition that features nearly sixty futuristic footwear designs like the auto-lacing Nike MAG.

It explores how cutting-edge technologies, unexpected materials, and new ideas are transforming footwear today. This provocative exhibition features digitally designed and 3D-printed shoes, sneakers made from mushroom leather and reclaimed ocean plastics, and footwear created for the metaverse. Portland is a sneaker town!

The Art Museum is a 6-minute walk from the Hilton Portland. PLMA transportation will not be planned for this event.
