Portland Children's Museum is a family-focused cultural institution in Portland, Oregon. Rather than centering a traditional collection, it emphasizes learning through play, using familiar materials to create opportunities for children to learn and explore. Its approach draws on Reggio Emilia-inspired inquiry-based learning and treats children as capable and creative learners, with caregivers integral to giving meaning to exhibits. The museum was established in 1946 by Dorothea Lensch as the Junior Museum and Adventure House and relocated to its Washington Park site in 2001, expanding space and programs such as Outdoor Adventure in 2014. In recent years it has hosted more than 313,000 visitors annually, and in 2020 it partnered with TriMet to distribute reflective gear to families at the museum.
