Free is good. The Art Museum usually charges admission, but not the fourth Friday of the month, 5PM-9, thanks to a business donation to keep the doors open. It's also a rare time in the evening for the Museum to be open. The big exhibits are in transition. Hopefully the upper floors of the contemporary wing will be open, they were closed recently for filming. At the Portland Art Museum www.pam.org 1219 SW Park 5PM-9 Free
