More than a traditional museum, the Columbia River Maritime Museum is a unique combination of experiences where
an extensive collection of seafaring vessels, maritime artifacts, and fine art come to life through exciting and informative exhibits, demonstrations and hands-on activities. From 2024 to 2026, CRMM will undertake multiple, coordinated projects that collectively create a richer, more expansive, interactive, and accessible experience for our visitors, both indoors and outdoors. This once in a generation transformation will result in a world class cultural and educational experience that will serve both residents and visitors from around the world. |
