About The Peculiarium
The Peculiarium, also known as Freakybuttrue Peculiarium, is a walk-through interactive museum and event space in Portland's NW Thurman Street corridor. With ~1,800 square feet in the main gallery, it offers a unique, hands-on experience that blends curiosity, science, and oddities. For larger gatherings, Hangar 13 at 2206 NW Thurman St serves as an added event space, expanding capacity for special occasions and anniversaries. Whether you’re planning a quirky party, a private gathering, or tickets to a featured event, we’ve got you covered with practical details and nearby conveniences to help you plan your visit.
Locations like this deserve clear info on access, parking, transit, and nearby lodging. Here’s what you should know when you’re exploring The Peculiarium and its related spaces in Portland’s Pearl District and NW corridor.
Venue details
The Peculiarium sits in a historic Portland neighborhood, with the main gallery offering an immersive, interactive experience rather than a traditional proscenium-style venue. For larger crowds, Hangar 13 (an extension at 2206 NW Thurman St) hosts expanded events and can accommodate more attendees. In 2020, some programming relocated to the Eastside at 640 SE Stark St, but 2206 NW Thurman St remains the hub for special occasions like the Peculiarium IPA Release Party / 14th Anniversary Celebration held on April 12, 2025.
Seating & accessibility
The space emphasizes walk-through exhibits with flexible flow rather than fixed seating. If an event is ticketed with seating, details (including great seats and the section you want placeholders) will be listed in your ticket options. For accessibility questions, contact the venue ahead of your visit to arrange accommodations.

Metered street parking is available around NW Thurman Street. Sunday parking is free, which can ease weekend visits. If you’re planning a larger event at Hangar 13, discuss parking logistics with us for the best nearby options.

The venue is served by TriMet bus lines 24, 77, and 15, making it accessible via public transportation from central Portland and surrounding neighborhoods. Check the latest TriMet schedules for any service changes on the day of your visit.
