Love this museum/ gallery! Its the perfect size with interesting art by interesting artists! I loved all the exhibits. My mother and I had a great time there. Then we had lunch in the cafe. She loved her salad and sandwich I didnt particularly care for my salmon sandwich and salmon salad. But I did love my cookie, coffee and ambiance!

Great space, exhibits and atmosphere. Love having another art museum to explore in addition to the Nelson-Atkins and Kemper Museum. Parking isn’t the best, as they are in the middle of a community college campus.

A lovely curated museum on the campus of Johnson County Community College. Saw the Queer Abstraction exhibit when before it left. Its free!

Always a great experience to visit the Nerman. Fantastic permanent collection upstairs and rotating exhibitions downstairs that are also well curated. Museum manageable size to have a great visit catching the new exhibits down and pieces upstairs in the permanent collection.

Amazing collection of art. As a citizen of Johnson County I am proud that we have a great community college. The Nerman museum is the biggest collection of contemporary art attached to a junior college in the US.

Beautiful Art. The architecture was lovely too. There was a nice looking cafe. My only complaint would be it felt like there was a worker staring at me everywhere I went. But I probably brought that on myself since I went on a Wednesday and there was no one else around.

This was a very enjoyable museum! The building is beautiful, everyone was friendly, and the art was impressive! I took my daughters here on a Tuesday afternoon. We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed looking at all the art. It is a smaller museum, which made it a bit more accessible to take kids. We had a great time!

Since we live very close to JCCC, we go to the Nerman Museum often and love to eat in the cafe.Both are very easy to find and parking is close by. A must see for anyone tho lives or is visiting Johnson County. Located on the grounds of Johnson County Community College, this architecturally striking museum has an outstanding, culturally relevant collection from nationally known artists. We happened on the Museum during a weekend visit with friends in Overland Park and wished we had more time to enjoy the exhibits.

This is a hidden jewel in Johnson County. Permanent pieces are a wonderful, visiting artists interesting. I hope to see more art pieces in the future. The facility is well designed to show the art. I just want to see more.

So many items that inspired. This is a delightfully small museum that is easy to walk through which gives one time to pause contemplate the exhibits. I go often.

Review №23

Great collection here - the permanent pieces are excellent, the rotating temporary exhibits are always very interesting/thought provoking. Small enough to get through quickly if you dont have all day to explore a larger museum. Theres also other art around campus to visit as well outside the museum collection

Though small, this art musesum is top notch. It reminds me a lot of the Nelsons modern wing. And its free and open to the public!

Review №28

This museum sits on the campus of Johnson County Community College. Its a showpiece and contains significant examples of contemporary art. The at collection is actually spread out all over the campus but the prime pieced are in the Nerman. If youre looking for eye candy and great prints and sculpture, a walk around the hallways on campus is obligatory. And the Cafe Tempo serves great lunches. Cant lose here.

Amazing museum full of current art, cant recommend it more honestly.If you like stuffy classical paintings, probably not for you, but I literally saw stained glass in the shape of a bouncy castle, so Im sold.

A variety of contemporary paintings, using a variety of acrylics, oils, paper, and ink. Some statuary, and one video installation. New galleries to open mid-June. Until new space opens, there is limited work to view.

Another hidden gem in Overland Park. I first came across this while location scouting for a project. The exhibits were amazing and the information desk was very helpful in explaining what was being shown. Even the lobby area was breath-taking with its almost entirely glass walls.Ill be sure to visit this museum again.

This might be worth looking at if you were already in the area, but if you were planning a trip, the Nelson-Atkins or the Kemper are better.
