What a nice museum and it seems to be highly visited. So nice to see people bringing children to experience real culture. The exhibits change on a regular basis and are always very well done. More

The largest museum in Kansas. Very nice exhibits. Close to Cow Town so you might as well take them both in. Cost $7 or less and free on Saturdays! More

If you like American artists, you MUST see this collection. That's an understatement. So well done and the docents are well trained and passionate. The Dale Chihuly glass ceiling at the entrance and also the chandelier on the upper level are impressive. Wichita loves art and it shows. More

The building has been recently renovated, and the collection is surprisingly good. Unfortunately, the people who are at the reception desk act like they are doing you a favor to speak to you. More
