Pheromone Art Gallery (Insects and More!)

***Sadly, the gallery in Salem closed at the end of February.
You can keep your eyes open for a new one opening up in Portland though.
We had a breathtaking visit to the Pheromone Art Gallery in Salem!

(See photos)
He has a neat testimony to share.
Find out which Designer Artist Christopher Marley gives the true credit to.

(Learn about his creative process and if he creates each individual piece.)

The art is copyrighted, naturally, so photos weren't allowed. To see photos of them doesn't do these magnificent creatures God has created justice anyway! You really must see them in person! So many of them look like jewels and they are all so beautifully and creatively displayed!

The variety of beetles, walking sticks, and butterflies is just amazing! Just amazing! You will also see sea life, botanicals, fossils, and minerals uniquely displayed.

The staff is very knowledgeable and can answer many questions that you have! :)

Cost: Free to view... expensive to buy. :).
Tips: 
*They are kid friendly there! There is a small table toward the very back with a coloring station set up. They even have some of the coloring pages kids have colored hanging up for your enjoyment. :)
*Room for a stroller.
*If you can't find parking along the street, you can park at the Chemeketa Parkade.
Restrooms: 
Not sure.
Extra: 
Each piece is very expensive but they do sell a couple of books compiled of Artist Christopher Marley's art. They also sell stationary cards, book marks, calendars, posters, and coloring book of his art.
