Maryhill Museum of Art invites residents of Clatsop, Columbia, Grant, Lincoln, Morrow, Tillamook, Washington, Wheeler, and Yamhill counties to visit FREE of charge during the weekend of August 15 & 16, 2015. Residents of those counties need only present their driver’s license to receive complimentary admission. Throughout the summer months, Maryhill designates certain weekends to offer free admission to residents of select counties in Oregon and Washington; over the course of the season, every county in Oregon and Washington is included in the program. For nearly two decades, Maryhill has extended this offer to its neighbors, giving Northwest residents a chance to explore one of the region’s most fascinating cultural destinations at no cost. “This is a great opportunity for
locals and for those planning a visit to the area, to experience the museum and the new exhibits on view,” said Colleen Schafroth, Maryhill’s executive director. In 2015, Maryhill is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Permanent exhibitions include more than 80 works by Auguste Rodin, European and American paintings, objects d’art from the palaces of the Queen of Romania, unique chess sets, and the renowned Théâtre de la Mode, featuring small-scale mannequins attired in designer fashions of post-World War II France. Baskets of the indigenous people of North America were a collecting interest of the museum’s founder Sam Hill; today the museum’s American Indian art collection represents nearly every tradition and style in North America, with works from prehistoric through contemporary.
