Portland Art Museum’s soon-to-debut campus expansion honors once-local artist Mark Rothko in more than one way. Of course, there’s the project’s centerpiece: the 22,000-square-foot Rothko Pavilion that will offer museumgoers a glass passageway between buildings.

But for those who prefer to eat their art — perhaps, even, through a sugar-filled slice of Rothko-inspired cake — the museum has visitors covered in that arena, too.
