The Story

Dedicated to Curiosity.

Welcome to Portland's Museum and bar of experiences. Located right off of Stark St. in South East Portland at The Luxury Bread Building, Experiment PDX is a space for arts, science, curiosity, and creation. Experiment is by Portland for Portland and features classes, courses, workshops, and lectures by local artists, intellectuals, and culturalists. We host programs and events for all ages, not excluding adult events. Trivia nights, galleries, tastings, and nerdery of all manner is encouraged at Experiment because grown-ups like fun things too, right?

 

And did we mention an artisan bar?

After School & Camps

Happening throughout the year!

At Experiment, we believe in the weird, wacky, and whimsical! We also believe that children and students should have the opportunity to enrich their lives with hands-on learning experiences! 

​

That's why we've teamed up with local educators, professionals, teachers, and even Mad Science, to provide your kiddos with top-notch S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) events, after-school programs, summer camps, and more!
