During our trip to Portland we made sure to stop by the Portland Art Museum it has been in our Portland bucket list for such a long time and I'm so glad we went! The museum is relatively big and is divided into sections with different eras of artwork and it also has a large contemporary wing to enjoy as well. I'm going to try to label as many art pieces as I can because I highly believe in giving artists the credit and exposure they deserve.
This artwork immediately made me crave cereal.

Fun fact: This artwork is made out of wool felt, human hair, and acrylic ball. Yes! I said human hair. When you got close to it you can totally see the human hair, it's kind of morbid.
Then we entered the Renaissance period. The Renaissance is a period in European history, covering the span between the 14th and 17th centuries. Thanks to all of my Art History courses I have become a huge fan of the art made during the Renaissance period.
I have seen and studies many of these Madonna and Child paintings and I'm always so intrigued. They are so beautiful and this was one of the largest one I have ever seen, so I made sure to capture a picture next to it.
Monets in Portland...who knew! Imagine our shocked faces when we entered the next room and came across a Monet's, a Renoir, and a Dejas! Literally hidden gems!
Taking random candid pictures of my amazing and talented partner inside museums has become one of my favorite things to do.

The Portland Art Museum is definitely a great place to visit and lose yourself for hours. Ricky and I were able to thoroughly enjoy it. I seriously could not believe how nice of a museum it is, and it's filled with amazing art. I highly recommend visiting if you are ever in Portland.

Wow, just wow. This museum was beautiful! I really loved this post. The Renaissance room with the peachy walls was definitely one of my favorites. Your photos came out so beautiful! I really want to make sure Rudy and I stop by a couple museums while we're in New York.
