Weather Machine
4.7 (6)attraction
4.7 (6)Always open (Daily noon show)
A kinetic bronze column that predicts Portland's weather through a theatrical show of mist and mechanical figures.
Description
Designed by Lee Kelly and Opsis Architecture, the sculpture was installed at Pioneer Courthouse Square in 1988. Every day at noon, the column sets into motion a quirky mechanical show to announce the forecast, revealing a symbolic sun, heron, or dragon accompanied by synchronized sounds, water, and vapor.
