Great museum near downtown Wichita hosting art from local, national, and international artists work from yesteryear to the most recent avant-garde artists of today. This museum hosts almost every type of community outreach in an effort to introduce and educate the public in the realm of art. Hosting such events as Art Chatter a meet and greet with local creatives, exhibitional openings, and yoga on the lawn amongst the outdoor sculpture garden just to mention a few of the many activities that the museum offers the citizens of Wichita as well as the region as a whole. I completely recommend visiting this museum. Oh and in order for all to enjoy this museum Saturdays are free admission to the public ☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡♡♡

Older Museum, downstairs gallery run down, carpet filthy, and musty smell pervades. Very poor lighting. Hard to see exhibits. Upstairs better, but very limited, and lighting is decades old and outdated. You cannot see the art work, and it is not lit professionally to exhibit the qualities of the artists. The Charles Russell was the worst, very hard to see any of his details, etc. A shame. They have 1 very small area for Russell, and a little larger area for some renaissance pieces, but very limited. The rest is newer art, locals, etc. Go on a free Sat, was not worth the admission.

Delightful place to visit with wonderful exhibits. Very quiet and peaceful. Perfect place for contemplation and gathering your thoughts. The day of my visit was during a glass exhibit showing the variety and complexity of clear and colored glassware. Truly inspiring to see. I particularly like the chandelier that was in the main lobby on the 2nd floor. Also, a very nice touch, was the section where you could walk across glass plates, protected under thick glass. Very amusing.

“Pleasant time” There are some great pieces here and a nice variety to see from glasswork to sculpture to pencil drawings, to oils and watercolors. I especially enjoyed the Jesse Alexander exhibit that is there now with photography of motorsports. Really classic! I enjoyed this the most. The Chihuly drawings were intriguing, and I liked his colorful paintings. I peaked my head...

Yes, you have to pay to get in. Yes, its worth it. They have a lot of really neat stuff on display in there that needs to be preserved the right way. Thats what youre paying for. There are big, beautiful venue rooms upstairs that you can rent out for special events. The staff are very friendly. We really enjoyed our time here and will go back with friends!

It is free on Saturdays and not nearly as busy as you would think. There are some great exhibits and it is such a relaxing enjoyable experience. The gift shop has some great unique presents for friends and family. It isnt the typical gimmicky marked up museum shop items you might expect.

Not huge or flashy, but a really really solid "A" on my scale. Displays are great and change in a timely manner; people are friendly, no pompous attitudes here! A great way to cool off on a hot summer day or enjoy the monthly Friday night socials with jazz or lectures.

There is always something for everyone from all demographics! Its never boring because even if the art pieces barley change youll always catch something new in an exhibition youve seen before! There is a childrens area! Its also free on Saturdays!

The FREE admission on Saturdays is an excellent trip. We love to go during the colder months. Our kids love to look at the different paintings and sculptures. They are always inspired to come home and create their own works of art.

You can always count on Wichita Art Museum to have entertaining and educational activities and events. Free Saturday admission is great for families and the Muse Cafe is second to none. This is definitely an art-lovers must.

A nice collection of art. Includes historic and modern, as well as postmodern. Much smaller than other museums.

While it has a small collection, it is a good one from most major eras of history beginning with 1600s on up.
