I went here after going to the nearby western town area. It was a nice building! Neat looking use of space. There were no special exhibits there when I visited. It was a nice part of the day! It was my only full day there and so it was a nice part of my chain of visits. Especially since it was within walking distance of the old town area (both free on Sunday!!)

We randomly stopped here cause something else was closes and we loved it. The staff was amazing and supper awesome. We had our two kids with us and they really enjoyed everything.

The opening of Upside Down, Topsy-Turvy, And Inbetween was a whimsical adventure of Sight...Sound...and Taste. Fire twirllers greet you at the entrance. Step inside to hear the sound of bongos. Climb the stairs to find arialists, popcorn n cotton candy and circus art. A Great time was had by ALL!

This place is great. It's free to enter but they do have temporary paid exhibits, a cafe, and a gift shop. There are so many great pieces in here, some exhibits downstairs, and quite a few upstairs. Make sure to get a map so you don't miss anything.
The bathrooms were clean and they do have an elevator. The parking lot was free and pretty big.

I love Aggie ! She was at the front desk and was very informative and kind. She shared us other places to visit in Wichita for the weekend and was sweet enough to hand over a pamphlet with city’s events and attractions listed. The museum has free floors that we can walk in without a ticket. The displays were nice , what really caught my eye was the bridge with glass Chihuly glass flower display. Especially when the sunlight fell on it, it was mesmerizing to look at!

Had a wonderful experience this past Saturday, viewing native glass art, watching a war dance, and being able to partake in museum art in a community project. My girls and I cannot wait to be back.

We went for a family birthday during one of their free events! The museum is always lovely with ever changing exhibits but this one was so spectacular! Right now they have a featured exhibit with glass sculptures inspired by Native American Indians. The glass was so breathtaking! The exhibit had so much information it really made you feel connected to the prieces! We always stop by the gift shop (the cards are fabulous!) And donate when we can!

Beautiful museum in Wichita, Kansas. Free general entry and special exhibitions are $12 /person. Free parking, clean restroom, nice gift shop, and beautiful restaurant.

Belgian artist paper dresses. So much more intricate and beautiful than personal imagination can visualize beforehand. My 6 and 9 year old grandchildren said, "Their minds were blown". An outstanding review, I think. We had a lot of fun. Then strolled through the permanent collection. Their favorite painting, that literally stopped them in their walk around? The Pit. We visited the Ritchie room on the lower level for the rest of the dress review. Great continuity to the bigger show upstairs. And then it was outside to run and look at the outdoor art. It was a great few hours of art.
