Museum of Whimsy

Bizarre and beautiful collection. Eccentric and exquisitely currated. Definitely a passion project.

I wouldn't bring toddlers, but my four and eight year old daughters were fascinated.

Look for the historic "hair art" both creepy and creative.

What a fun, eclectic mix of beauty and oddities. Dont miss this place if you're looking for something interesting and oddly historical in Astoria.

This is a wonderful place in a great location. The entry fee for families are very affordable and the displays are unique and playful. Trish was a wonderful museum host and told us the interesting history of the building and its renovation. The museum is located also in the downtown near other shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this museum. Our children enjoyed it as much as we did.

Wonderful museum full of unique and amazing displays. Downstairs is full of antique dolls, costumes, art and more, plus an aviation library. Upstairs is furnishings, table settings, a boudoir, more displays of belongings collections, and other wonderful things. Self guided touring so you can take your time. Entry fee is a nominal $5 per person or $10 per family.

This place is a hysterical gem in Oregon. The woman who runs the show is incredibly knowledgeable about all things bizarre and artsy, and is exceptionally generous. It is small, but very much worth the trip if even just to view the wall mounted dioramas. A decent collection of local artists also sell some jewelry and prints here as well!

Very creative. What imagination. Exhibits and arrangements are so whimsy and fun to explore. Spend a couple of hours walking through and then relaxing on the second floor as you enjoy the view. Take school field trips or your family for an afternoon. You won't be dissapointed.

Fun, engaging, whimsical; this place lives up to it's name. There is so much to explore, and the grand theme pieces itself together with every discovery. Located inside a historic Bank building, the architecture invites such a collection of this kind. Worth the trip inside.

We had a lovely time. We got there an hour before close and got a private tour. It's a Wonderful collection full of Whimsy just as it says. Lovely restoration beautiful building.

You can't visit this museum without smiling, absolutely delightful. Obviously a labor of love. What an amazing repurpose of a beautiful building and Astoria is a perfect place for it.

Best kept secret in Astoria Oregon!
Hard to believe that locals don't know about this gem. Such interesting things from all over the world. Don't miss it if you're in the area.

Loved it. All the items/exhibition are great. Check/ask fb page for their hour of operation to plan you visit of the week.

Very unusual stuff!

You have to go there to see what they have. It's so amazing. Everytime I go I'm so amazed by what they have! It's such a happy place.

Wonderful collection of whimsies. The curator is enthusiastical and helpful. You also can try some of the collection on.

A must see! So. Many neat corky things. Feel of royalty furniture upstairs.

So, so, so much fun here, exploring all the whimsical collections in a gorgeous historical building!

Been to every museum in Astoria today this was by far the most entertaining

Possibly one of the best places ever. Just go already!!!!!!

What an awesome place full of wonderful curiosities!

Amazing!
