What:
Portlanders spend several months of the year carrying umbrellas and wearing raincoats and rubber boots. Rain shapes the landscape and the city of Portland.

Now on display, the traveling exhibit showcases stormwater as a resource and illustrates opportunities to integrate it with art, landscape and architecture in ways that bring nature back to Portland.
