10-September 2.
Museum Hopping
Summer’s a good time to
catch up on local museums.
You’ll find a sprinkling of out
of-towners, some kids who left
their bikes parked outside, and
families who’ve decided to vaca
tion at home. Bring a picnic
lunch to eat in the park, or treat
yourself afterwards at a nearby
restaurant—make an outing of
it.
The Lane County Museum is
one of our community’s trea
sures. Because people who emi
grated to the Willamette Valley
tended to stay put, the Lane
County Museum has an unusual
ly rich collection of objects that
came here via covered wagon or
by ship around the Horn. While
looking through a Time-Life
book on women of the West re
cently, I was surprised to find six
or seven photographs of arti
facts from the Lane County Mu
seum. Summer hours are 10 am
to 4 pm, Wednesday through Sa
turday, and there is no admis
sion charge. The Lane County
Museum is located at the Lane
County Fairgrounds, 13th and
Monroe.
The Springfield Museum,
open 11 am to 5 pm, Wednesday
through Saturday, is at 550
Main. Admission is free. The
Sandal and the Cave, a traveling
exhibit from the U of O Museum
of Natural History on Native
traditions of the Northern Great
Basin, opens there July 2. You
can also see oil paintings by
Margorie Fletcher (through Au
gust 1) and an exhibit on the
Springfield Millrace.

The University of Oregon Mu

Tuesday through Saturday,
through July 30. The Museum
will close for August and part of
September, reopening Septem
ber 20. Through July, you can
still take in the magnificent dis
play of Macedonian Bridal Cos
tumes, along with special ex
hibits on The Influence of Dar
win and Tracing the Mystery of
the Useful Animal. Admission is
free.
Like the Museum of Natural
History, the University of
Oregon Museum of Art is suffer
ing from budget cuts that have
forced it to close for the sum
mer. The Museum of Art closed
July 1 and will not reopen until
September 7—a real disappoint
ment not only to local residents
but also to out-of-town visitors.
Watch for a blockbuster Chinese
art exhibit at the Museum of Art
this fall; Decoding Dragons
opens October 2.
Willamette Science and Tech
nology Center (WISTEC) will be
open throughout the summer.
Hours are 12 to 5 pm, Tuesday

dens, is also on display. Admis
