What travellers are saying
- PH2003Denver, CO380 contributionsThis was one of the things that came up on the “things to see in Portland” list we saw before traveling. It’s a fun spot to go to if you’re in the city. It’s pretty small so I’m not sure if it’s necessarily worth $10, but I enjoyed it. There are fun things to look at, as well as the gift shop.
Hot tip: if you go into the “museum” there is a bathroom, which is pretty scarce in PortlandWritten 12 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Excellent unusual works. Don't miss this. Free; donation suggested.Written 22 January 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J P55 contributionsI've been to a lot of immersive experiences around the country, and was excited to check this one out when I was in Portland. It's set up differently from others- where the rooms are all linked to a common hallway that you can walk back and forth in- which made it nice if a particular room was busy- you could come back to it later. My favorite part was the immersive trampoline room- be sure to bring socks for that one!
The ball pit room was kind of a nightmare- too many children sprawled underneath the balls- it felt like a dangerous situation. As an adult with no kids- I wish there had been a time slot to come for 18+ or something (perhaps there is and I didn't research it well enough?)
The secret garden room is a lot less fun than it sounds...perhaps not a good spot for the kids depending on what secrets are being revealed.
It's a great spot for to get that Instagram-worthy photo or to just play and have fun.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Despite its location in a bit of a sketchy neighborhood, it is a must see in Portland. Curated in a unique and artful fashion (the short film shown at the beginning of the permanent collection is a marvel), it tells the history of Chinese immigrants in the Northwest in a compelling and engaging way.Written 26 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Izabella R1 contributionGreat place to check out art of all kinds. Lots of unique and beautiful 2D and 3D art here, things you usually can’t find in other galleries. Has an authentic local feel and lots of inspiration, as well as a cute book lending library and classroom. Stopping in is a definite must!Written 20 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- misopiso88Seattle, WA24,967 contributionsMy daughter and I were walking around the Pearl District at night and had to stop to admire the lighting display at night in front of Elizabeth Leach Gallery. Very cool! Want to go back during the day and check out the exhibits!Written 18 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vijay DPortland, OR28 contributionsThis was my second visit to this wonderful, friendly place- besides glass, where technology, art and craftsmanship get fused together (no pun intended). First time I went there when a field visit was organized by the local AIA (American Institute of Architects) chapter. And second time I took my sister who was visiting me from LA who is a writer and artist herself.
This is one of those places where glass artists, architects, interior designers and creative people get to see, purchase and experiment with thousands of colored glass sheets. Visitors get to see the actual manufacturing process and shipping and packaging process as well. The retail store and gallery is part of the main facility and is a fun experience to stroll through to see a wide variety of raw glass materials, (sheet glass, confetti, dichroic, frit and powder, murrine, rods and stringers), associated tools and supplies for hobbyists and professionals. They are an internationally known manufacturer and supplier of glass raw material and art suppliers. Bullseye also offers on-site classes and studio facility areas for budding glass artists and hobbyists.
Visitors' tours are free but need advance booking. They are the best way to learn and watch how glass is made on large scale. The tours are extremely informative and the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. The walking tour typically goes for half hour to 45 minutes. Also make sure to wear full pants and closed toe-footwear for your protection. After all, this is a serious manufacturing facility. Nearby there are several wonderful little places to eat and hang out. This is Portland after all...Written 6 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were lost a block from it but patrons of the main museum and nearby businesses couldn't give us directions to it. To get there just go to the PAM: it is inside, not in a separate location.
The collection is of excellent quality It's strength lies in the Northwest, as per the name, but other tribes and pueblos are represented as well.Written 29 September 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But it is worth finding. Up on the third floor it occupies the whole floor and has monthly rotating shows as well as representing a lot of artists. This gallery leans to the modern/contemporay arts of regional to international fame. High quality work, not the local new wave or arts and crafts level. If you are up to this level of quality and money, this is a place for you. If your an art student and want to keep up of contemporary professional work this is a place for you too.Written 27 April 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Phil GKitchener, Canada632 contributionsI dropped in after seeing a piece that caught my eye. The owner / artist was there and explained some processes of the creative works she was displaying. It was a pleasure and hope to revisit when I am in Portland again.Written 22 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bridges2018Portland, OR3 contributionsThis shop/warehouse is located in an up and coming area of Portland called the Historic Industrial area just one block from the Willamette River. The buildings there are antiques themselves!
Asia America has 2 floors, 20,000 square feet of antiques all imported from China, India, Taiwan, Nepal, Thailand, and Japan. There are large furniture pieces, small gifts items, paintings by local artists and several pieces that are just show stoppers like the full size Mongolian Yurt that you can go into and take a break from all the shopping.
The staff are passionate, extremely knowable and they support health and education development projects in Asia.
The prices are very competitive (and sales tax free). They offer shipping across the US.Written 11 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of history here!Written 13 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
