Came for their monet exhibit right at opening and no wait for same day ticket. Was extraordinary - I've seen my fair share of monet including including the l'orangerie but this was an exceptional curation that pulled together 60+ paintings across his lifetime to tell a story I hadn't heard of how his style evolved.
It was excellently assembled, and the number of works with borrowed museums also was far greater than I've seen before. Normally you might see 2-3 museums collaborate but to pull this off they easily went past 10-15.
Amazing job, and highly recommend others who are in ueno/tokyo to pay a visit. Worth the detour and glad I checked it out (only noticed by accident when walking in ueno and seeing the ads for it).
Only complaint was they should have either spread the exhibit over more space to make it less crowded, and also make it more consistent in offering English translations as I had to pull out my Google translate in a number of areas

Beautiful architecture, but most of the exhibit space was fenced off/closed. Kind of weird. Worth stopping by to see the space itself
They had a Pinocchio special exhibit, highlighting portlands contributions to this Oscar winning netflix film. Was done very well.
The regular collection is small but has a number of impressionist paintings worth a view if already there.

Really enjoyed this small museum on the history of the Chinese people in portland. Wasn't aware of their history and thought it was well worth the $8 entrance fee.
Ended up coming here as i got tired of looking for a place with space. Was already a bit skeptical from some reviews and first warning flag was when they gave me the English menu with priced scratched out. I was able to figure pricing with the Spanish menu together but that was sketch.
The arugula salad has good quality parmesan but too many arugula that were essentially rotten/wilted.
The chicken sandwich was okay but definitely overpriced for what you get.
Service was super slow despite Maybe 10% occupancy.
There's better options in this area.
