About this place

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry started in 1944 and moved to its current home on the east bank of the Willamette River in 1992. It has five exhibit halls, the Kendall Planetarium with astronomy shows every day, and the Empirical Theater, with a screen about four stories tall.

Docked right beside the museum is the USS Blueback, a real Navy submarine that played a part in the movie The Hunt for Red October. You can tour it with a guide, so check times when you arrive.
