The Oregon State Hospital Museum of Mental Health spans over 2,500 square feet dedicated to educating and enlightening visitors about the hospitals history and the stories of the people who lived and worked there. As a private non-profit, the museum is run by volunteers and supported by individual donations as well as government grants.

Permanent exhibits include The Treatment Room, examining the evolution of sometimes controversial therapy protocols and The World Below, exploring the hospital’s extensive network of underground tunnels. The museum also features artifacts from when the hospital was used as the filming location for the movie “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.
