treasures

PAXTON GATE PDX

Inspired by Natural Sciences and oddities of the world, Paxton Gate is a curiously mind-expanding treasure trove. The Paxton Gate Experience provides beauty and mystery of the natural world where you will come face to face with framed entomology, vintage taxidermy, nature inspired jewelry, minerals, meteorites, fossils, plants, hand crafted fine art pieces and more. You’ll feel like you entered a natural history museum, but one where you get to take some of the magic home with you.

Their process involves curating unique, rare, fascinating treasures from all corners of the world in a fashion that is sustainable and responsible to our Earth. Education is a big part of the experience too, with events such as entomology pinning classes, Insect Safari exhibits, visits with The Falconer, where you can hold an actual raptor and much more.

Lovers of science and natural wonders, Paxton Gate is a destination for visitors to explore, enjoy and be enchanted. Adventure awaits!
