Portland Museum of Modern Art (PMOMA) in Portland, Oregon, was founded in 2012. [1] It was located in the basement of Mississippi Records and was founded by curator Libby Werbel. [2] The Museum was staffed by Mississippi Records employees. [1]
At its founding, Werbel called the PMOMA "her fake museum." [3] OPB noted that PMOMA is "a tiny space that wittily challenges ideas about the nature of museums and the art-watching experience." [4] The project has received recognition in Artforum, [5] among others, and has been supported by the Precipice Fund, The Calligram Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Regional Arts & Culture Council. [6] [7]
In September 2016, PMOMA hosted a residency series, Houseguest, on Pioneer Courthouse Square. [8] The PMOMA showcases contemporary folk art. [9]
In 2017, the museum was officially closed after 5 years of operation. [10]
