A great permanent collection includes a big Chinese collection of sculptures and paintings donated by a local neurosurgeon . Always features an interesting traveling exhibit. A beautiful building located on the campus of Amarillo College.

2 floors have permanent exhibits, middle/main floor exhibit changes with enough frequency that even locals can see something new from time to time...impressive variety for a relatively small town. Nice place to spend an hour or two...and its free (donation box shouldn't be overlooked though)

The place was quite small..I was able to finish all the exhibits in about 20-30 minutes. There were many interesting statues and protraits. Also a nice section for modern art. Of course not comparable to nyc's moma... but still a nice place to see in amarillo. Best part free admission! Just remember to place a donation! :-)

This free museum is a nice way to spend a relaxing hour or two. Galleries on three different levels provide a nice mix of items from the permanent collection (Asian art, in particular) and special exhibits.

I took my two young kids here for their first museum experience. It was free and we were the only ones there on a Saturday afternoon. The current exhibits were fun and different. Everyone had a great time.
