Ashland OR Museums

Culture certainly isn’t in short supply in Ashland, and the abundance of Ashland OR museums proves it; in fact, Ashland seems to have a museum to fit nearly every interest.

History buffs should check out the Ashland Historic Railroad Museum and Southern Oregon Historical Society’s (located in nearby Medford) library for a peak into the lives of the pioneers who first settled in the Rogue Valley.

Likewise, Ashland OR museums for children and science-loving adults will fall in love with ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum on East Main St. A fun, kid-friendly organization, ScienceWorks has over 100 interactive exhibits, making it a fantastic family outing.

Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art is a required stop for art aficionados, and features major exhibits from across the US as well as a bimonthly showcase focused on contemporary visual art.

Downtown, the Ashland Art Center is another worthwhile stop; a visual arts organization that combines a gallery with art education, art services and studio space, the Art Center is a great way to interact with local artists and gain a genuine sense of the homegrown art community.

So whether it’s art, science or history that piques your interest, chances are that Ashland has a museum for you.
