The FLIP Museum

Children’s museums coming to the Portland Metropolitan Area!

Fun. Learning. Inspiration. Play

The FLIP Museum is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization (Tax ID: 87-3605707). Our governing board is a team of local community advocates who care deeply about equitable learning opportunities for children and families in our community. We volunteer our time, expertise, and skills to launch this effort. 

The strength in FLIP will lie in its ongoing commitment to lift up voices from throughout the community. We enthusiastically welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and abilities to get in touch and get involved. Black, Indigenous, people of color, immigrants, queer, trans, non-binary, disabled, neurodivergent, and anyone who has experienced systemic oppression are particularly encouraged to apply.

Please email volunteer@flipmuseum.org for more information.

Play is how children learn and develop into happy, healthy members of the community. Research in early childhood development has shown the positive impact of play for years. Encouragingly, some schools in the Greater Portland Metropolitan Area are beginning to integrate more play-based learning into their curriculum. But schools can’t fix our play deficit alone – and they aren’t the only ones playing a critical role in the development of our children. 

FLIP imagines a children’s museum that is adaptable in its delivery and inclusive in its reach. We recognize the need for locations that are equitably accessible. We aim to build an experience that captures the heart of our community and that is relevant and sustainable for future generations.
