Portland Art Museum Unveils New Web Site Sponsored by Lattice Semiconductor

• New site provides immediate, interactive access to the Museum's collections, exhibitions and programming

Portland, OR - February 22, 2000 - The Portland Art Museum recently unveiled a new web site, sponsored by Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) of Hillsboro, Oregon. Designed to provide immediate access to information on the Museum, its permanent collections and special exhibitions, the new site, www.portlandartmuseum.org, replaces the Museum's original site, which was launched in 1996.

"The world wide web is rapidly becoming a commonly used source of information and we at the Portland Art Museum recognize its importance in the new millennium," notes Executive Director John E. Buchanan, Jr. "Lattice Semiconductor's support has allowed us not only to have an informative and educational web site, but one that now also takes advantage of the newest technology available to us."

In addition to information on the Museum's current and upcoming special exhibitions, site visitors can also access information on other activities offered, including the Project for the Millennium construction and renovation project, Museum Family Sunday events, Museum After Hours concerts, and other educational programs, lectures and docent tours.

"Our sponsorship provides a unique opportunity for Lattice to support its local community," said Chris Fanning, Director of Strategic Planning at Lattice Semiconductor. "Lattice is a leader in the development of innovative and technological products, and sponsoring the web site allows us to assist the Portland Art Museum to develop its own leading edge technology platform. We are excited to have such a strong association with one of Portland's leading attractions."

Designed by the Portland firm Studio Reedijk Inc., the site offers visitors the opportunity to manipulate 360� panoramas of the Museum's newly installed permanent collections, including the European and American painting and sculpture galleries, the English silver gallery and the Contemporary art gallery. In addition, visitors can get up close looks at individual paintings, sculpture and other works of art in the Museum's permanent collection.

The public can obtain early information on upcoming exhibition Stroganoff: The Palace and Collections of a Russian Noble Family from the new web site, including not only ticket information, but also the opportunity to learn about the Stroganoff family, the treasures they collected, and the background of this exhibition. The Stroganoff site also features links to The Hermitage Museum, Russian State Museum, and other related Russian history pages.

The progress of the Museum's $45 million capital campaign and construction project, the Project for the Millennium, can be followed by viewing still photos and 360-degree video panoramas, giving a behind the scenes look at the different phases of construction on the Hoffman wing, the third wing of the Museum's Pietro Belluschi complex. There is also a timeline of completion dates for the the galleries in the newly renovated wing and a schedule of opening events.

Much of the same information from the web site is also available on an interactive kiosk within the Museum. The kiosk allows people to access the same information while visiting the Museum. There is currently one kiosk installed in the Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Sculpture Court, and, as construction continues, additional kiosks will be installed in galleries and in the new Education Resource Center, which is scheduled to open in the summer of 2000.
