Photograph historic vessels, maritime exhibits and wide Columbia River vistas from inside and on the museum's pier. Large windows and rooftop viewpoints frame the Astoria-Megler Bridge and working harbor — fog and low clouds add mood. Best at golden hour or late afternoon; foggy mornings offer dramatic, diffused light. Museum has admission fee, accessible facilities and onsite parking; weekdays and off-season are less crowded. Combine interior detail shots with exterior river panoramas.
