ATTRACTION Frommer
American Advertising Museum

Like it or not, advertising is here to stay. In this small museum, you'll learn about its history, from the 1700s to the present, through displays on historic advertisements, celebrities, and jingles. Tapes of old TV commercials provide a popular trip down memory lane. Lots of 20th-century advertising icons are on display, and the most influential ads of the past century are chronicled in detail. Definitely a fun and unusual little museum.

211 NW Fifth Ave.Phone: 503/226-0000.Open: Wed-Sun noon-5pm.Admission $5 adults, $4 seniors and children ages 4-12.
