The Pacific Maritime Heritage Center has comprehensive permanent exhibits on the maritime heritage of the central Oregon Coast. We have several rotating galleries where we host traveling exhibits and local artists as well as temporary exhibits from our vast collection. The flyers below showcase what is currently on display.

The Burrows House Museum features a timeline of history starting with the history of the Siletz Tribe and moving into the early history of Newport and Lincoln County. There are also standalone exhibits on Ernest Bloch, the horse models by Frannie Branson, a Parlor Room, and more.

Current temporary exhibits at the PMHC:

Our Beautiful & Wild Oregon Fisheries
150 Years of Innovation

The story told in this exciting new exhibit is of Oregon’s successful emergence as a world leader in sustainable seafood and the very sound reasons for eating local seafood.

This is the story of our fishermen, fish processors, fishery managers, scientists, conservation groups and port communities meeting the challenges and opportunities of wild harvest fisheries to feed a growing population.

Museum visitors will be afforded a rare opportunity to be immersed in the fascinating and little understood story behind Oregon and the Yaquina Bay’s far reaching and economically vital commercial fishing fleet. The largest fisheries in Oregon: Dungeness crab, pink shrimp, albacore tuna, Chinook salmon, groundfish, and pacific whiting are central to this exhibit. Politics, regulations, globalization, consumer food preferences, environmental conservation, and old fashion seat-of-your pants ingenuity have all shaped the region’s commercial fishing fleet and maritime culture.
