Portland’s famous velvet painting museum is leaving Portland! This is the last week to check out over 300 velvet paintings. The final viewing day is January 24th. Admission is $5, but it’s worth a peek. There are Elvises, wide-eyed children crying, Elvises crying, clowns smoking and crying, naked women, matadors, even a naked woman matador. I was surprised to discover that there are also some genuinely talented velvet painters.

Supposedly, the owners of the Velveteria are planning to reopen their exhibits somewhere with nicer weather.
