We love the Wichita Art Museum, especially their Art Start program. Samantha is so sweet and patient with the kids. They have a cool bridge that you can go on if you take your shoes off that is on top of various Chihuly Art Glass. I love that this Art museum feels very welcoming and not stuffy at all. Dont miss the great climbable sculptures you can find around back.

FABULOUS smaller museum with a wonderful permanent collection including Frederic Remington, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, and two permanent Dale Chihuly installations among others. There is always at least one wonderful exhibit going on. The Museum is a nice modern style and is available for receptions and other functions. Lots of fun pieces from classical to modern for the whole family to enjoy. ❤️

Loved it! Look forward to returning. We also enjoyed a delicious piece of cake in the cafe. It is inspiring to see some of the paintings and art work though time also. Im a Artist looking to get get back to my skills in art and seeing others inspiring pieces gives me more desire to find the time to get back to it. Its beautiful where they placed the museum next to the river front too. Had wished I had .ore time to spend there.

This is a great place for the community to learn about various types of art. The museum changes paintings and exhibits to keep your visit fresh. An outside walk around the building has thought provoking sculptures to capture your imagination.

This museum is well curated with interactive exhibits drawing in the viewer. I truly loved the story telling point of view. It is an important part of drawing the viewer into the artists inspiration.

This is a really nice art museum and they always have a rotating exhibit so its something new to see every visit. They also have yoga outside with all of the sculptures and Saturday is free admission. We always bring our out of town guests here and they have enjoyed it too.

This was a blast for the whole family, I highly recommend spending an afternoon here. I have 2 boys under 5-years-old and they stayed interested the whole time going through the art exhibits. The Living Room portion was definitely a highlight for the boys. They had a craft for kids to do which made the whole experience even better. Definitely going to make this a regular event for our family!

I love coming here, especially on Saturdays when its free admission. Their rotating exhibitions are always really cool and immersive. I havent gotten a chance to eat in the cafe but it always smells great. I love going to the gift shop and seeing mini versions of the art I just saw to take home.

I am not an art museum fan, but this place was quiet beautiful and just very serene! They had some wonderful pieces up! They also add some Great Wall quotes!I know the pictures do not give full credit, but I hope they give you an idea of some of the pieces they display at this great art museum.

Living in Wichita I have been more times than I can count. Museum is always clean, free on Saturdays and good family fun in general. The downside... unless they have an exhibit come through NOTHING ever changes. Same paintings, same everything from what I can tell from the last 20 plus years. Like I said... free on Saturdays!

Went to the Matisse and Monet exhibit today. Very nice museum with friendly staff. The overall exhibit was excellent for something coming here in the Midwest. Museum membership at $65 for a family is a great value. We will be back

Lots to offer for young and old! You can learn a lot about the arts just visiting on a normal day. Sometimes there are lectures about the exhibits. Great place to take the kids for a cultural day or the wife for date night.

Surprisingly decent size museum for a smaller city. Much of the art focused on the farm culture which I suppose is to be expected in Kansas. A few notable artists hang among the galleries which is nice to encourage the viewer to proceed further into the museum.

First time I have been and it was amazing! I was very impressed with the whole experience. There were local artists and collections, lots to see and experience. I had a lot of fun with my kids and wife when we went. The give you a map for the exhibits and how to navigate through, then in the Living Room you can do a scavenger hunt and relax. It was great, will definitely go again!

Beautiful small art museum with an amazing area for the kids to play. The set up of the museum is easy to walk around and the staff was very friendly. Unlike other art museum you can not have bags so you will need to store it in the lockers.

Review №58

I had so much fun there. They had so many cool paintings. My favorite was the French painting called The Pit by a German artist George Gross. It depicts WWI and the horrors of what happened durring that time period. There are people drinking their fears away, people carrying their limbs that were amputated off, bodies being dropped into a river that were killed or diseased, fire everywhere, people going crazy, and there is so much going on that I stood there for 10 min but sadly had to leave. If you look at it, it looks like the cover of a metal band, and it is. The band is called Ares Kingdom and the cover is The Unburiable Dead. I had fun and you should go there to. They also had the original painting called mother and ciled by Mary Cassatt.

A great art museum, made even better by the fun events they do. Admission is free on Saturdays, but it is worth paying for any day. The outdoor sculptures make a trip to the WAM an indoor and outdoor experience. The children’s room always has a set of activities that will kindle the artistic spirit in your little ones. The museum’s collection is full of amazing works, and their special exhibits are well-curated. This is a must-visit for locals and out-of-towners.

The Wichita Art Museum is a treasure of the city. A beautiful building and a knowledgable and hard-working staff who strive for artistic excellence. The permanent collection is impressive as are the temporary exhibitions, such as the current one on Georgia OKeefe, which should not be missed! Hats off to WAM!

WAM is a Wichita treasure. Everyone should visit at least a few times a year to remind ourselves what art is. Saturday is free, so take your hangover to look at some art next weekend!Oh, and if you have kids they have a very cool kids section with crayons and puppets! (These things also exist if you do not have kids.) Also check their social media or web site for fun events. Again, FREE ON SATURDAY!!!P. S. Yes, I did see this moth at the museum, but he was a fellow guest, not an exhibit.

It had nice exhibits, however, only one immersive exhibit and the rest (other than the few collections) felt thrown together and disjointed. Still worth going to see as the art is beautiful.

Great art museum, very well laid out, very inviting and flows well. The folks attending the museum are present and helpful without being intrusive. The displays are always set up in a thoughtful manner that compliments the subject matter. Weve visited many displays here over the years and are always impressed. Very convenient and well maintained.

The Wichita Art Museum is a fun place to take family and friends to, it is free on Saturdays. They always have new exhibitions and if you are a student or under 17 you get in for free which is awesome. Being an artist myself, I find this is a great place to be creative as well as admire the pieces. There is a cute little gift shops which has tons of unique and fun items. There is also a small cafe as well. All the staff here are very nice & welcoming!
