Dedicated by Queen Marie of Romaria in 1926, the museum opened in 1940. The castle-like museum overlooks the Columbia River Gorge on 26 park-like acres.
European and American paintings are complemented by a collection of Auguste Rodin sculptures and watercolors, 19th-century French art glass and 18th-century Russian icons.
Other highlights include Hill photographs and memorabilia, American Indian basketry and artifacts, the Theatre de la Mode French mannequin gallery and personal items and royal furnishings donated by Queen Marie. A visible storage gallery allows visitors a glimpse of the museum's weapons collection, Hill's death mask and busts of famous figures throughout history.
Also visit the museum gift shop and cafe.
