Downtown Portland's Outdoor Sculptures: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Overview

Portland's downtown is dotted with outdoor sculptures. Some immense and famous, some hidden in plain sight. The outdoor sculptures of Portland exemplify Portland's unique character, charm, and history in a number of ways. Take a self-guided GPS audio walk and discover Portland in a new and interesting way!

Downtown Portland is a busy place on a weekday, but people are friendly. You may run into street musicians, homeless people, food carts, and more! The tour starts in the middle of Pioneer Square, known as "Portland's Living Room."

The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

What To Expect

Weather Machine

The Weather Machine is about 30-feet high and includes two bronze wind scoops. The Weather Machine took five years to plan and build, came at a cost of about $60,000, and it was installed in the square in August of 1988.

Portlandia

Portlandia is the second-largest copper repoussé statue in the United States, after the Statue of Liberty. The composition is a metalworking technique. Malleable metal is shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design.

A very cute tour of some of Portland Downtown's sculptures! The directions were clear and the facts about the sculptures were interesting. I only wish it was longer - it covered a very small area of downtown. There were many other sculptures within a few blocks that I would have liked to learn about.

Very well designed app, easy to listen and follow. Great sculptures and narration. We enjoyed the details and explanation of each piece.
