Wichita Art 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!

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.

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.

Very nice clean, quiet museum for socially distanced visiting. Interesting traveling exhibits. Plenty of hand sanitizer available and a great restaurant with safe dining.

Great time for mother daughter date! It is on the smaller side of some of the art galleries weve visited, not a huge collection. Some of it is super amazing!! Nice shop and quaint cafe. Would definitely reccomend!

I am so impressed with this Museum. Love the gift shop and they have a cafe. I was treated with much respect. I even got to see Santa! I even found some artwork in the parking lot. I highly recommend

Always a great time and THE GLASS FLOOR IS BACK, just dont jump up and down.

I LOVE coming here to see the art. The exhibits change from time to time so the view is fresh.

So many things to look at, so many local artists, really enjoyed, everything about it, every turn was like a new adventure, and the people working was so knowledgeable,

Great facilities, Glass & Cristal expositions are very nice

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!

We really enjoyed the Preston Singletary exhibit and the story associated with it. The lunch was really good. As a senior to advantage of the senior hour. They were very clean and safe.

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.

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.

The gift shop is great. I always enjoy viewing the displays as I am an avid art enthusiast.

Great environment. Love the free admission on Saturdays

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.

Dont get me wrong, i enjoyed it. But as a mother of a 8 yr old, i was hoping for something more in the living room/i guess kid area. Like definitions of abstract, representational, perspective, focal points... things that would help her understand art. Not puppet shows. In her words why does everyone have big eyes? in the 18th century exhibit. How am supposed to explain what they did in the 18th century portraits? What is so special about 18th century artists? I honestly think this place needs a overhaul to incorporate all levels of understanding of art, not just pieces on the wall. Like walking a person from knowing nothing about art to the amazing artwork thats displayed. So i gave it 3 stars because theres no connection to art i was hoping for to expand my daughters learning. Otherwise its an ok place.

Nice place. Easy to find. Have some wonderful traveling through exhibits and ones that are there all the time. Great place to spend a few hours.

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.

Beautiful wedding venue

One of Wichitas favorite museums and a great place to bring the whole family to spend an entire day. Check out the brand-new entrance and lobby!

Very nice art museum. Good kid area. Good exhibits. Nice cafe. Seems like this one doesnt go too far with the graphic art of the City of Austin art museums etc. Nice view of downtown from the museum. Was impressed.

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

It was a great first time experience for me and my family. Great beautiful art work. The movie was great. We liked the Cafe they have as well.

I give WAM four stars instead of five for one reason: they never change their standard display. Its been the same for years. Their travelling exhibits are fantastic, but I wish their regular collection was more varied. Its possible this is by design, Im not a curator by any stretch of the imagination.

Fun place to spend a hot afternoon with the kids. Remember to get a souvenir from the gift shop

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.

I love art. So it comes as no surprise that I would love the art museum. Although there are two major flaws with my visit. One there were two hallways that were complete dead space and not much in the way of direction given by the signage. Second flaw was the amount of construction happening during my visit make the space considerably smaller than previous visits

Nice place for a wedding.

Pretty nice thing to do if in town would recommend

Fantastic museum I definitely recommend stopping in for a look

I really enjoyed my time here. It was an awesome break from the chaos of daily life. Id assume Saturdays are busier because admission is free but I went on like Tuesday or Wednesday, one of those haha! Oh I got off track. Anyways, admission was $10 for me. Kids are $3. It was so peaceful and virtually empty so I could really truly absorb the art. Lots of comfy places you can sit and chill and a good variety of pieces to reflect upon. The lady up front was super nice too! Definitely go check it out!

Veery small bet well done museum you can enjoy hoppers as well.

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.

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.

Had a lovely time, always a great place to visit.

We attended the Art Start Program. The facilitators were very friendly and accommodating. The kids area afforded more entertainment than I had thought it would. Well be back for other kid events for sure.

Granddaughters loved it. Kids room really cool. Place kids can be kids n learn too.

Amazing people! Beautiful and interesting. Food for the Spirit! Susie Silbert, Corning Museum of Glass’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art is dynamic and informative. Thoroughly enjoyable. Get out to see the art, enjoy the whole experience!

Good museum you guys have here... Nice selection of art. Wish I couldve stayed longer, but I had to run.

Saturday is free entry and went for the first time. Has a nice flow to the area, a lot of different and unique pieces with descriptions behind it all. Definitely worth a visit and look forward to returning.

I loved the museum. It was wonderful to have the history beside the art work and the artist. Very informative!! Beautiful building and we were served a beautiful and delicious lunch. Staff was wonderful too.

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.

WAM is a wonderful place!

The main exhibit was quite interesting especially the shadow part of light and Shadow I do have to say it was kind of disappointing that you cant go outside and look at the statues on the outside really on the 1st floor. Worth the n 10$

Would like to see more contemporary and modern exhibits here, well curated and free on saturdays!

Went to eat lunch at the cafe with a great friend. The food was yummy & they had great coffee. Excellent views!

It looks a modern structure and it is. Somehow they made the steel and glass building warm and inviting. While there is plenty big enough, the galleries are manageable. It would probably take a couple of hours to go through them all depending on the level of interest. There is a great cage that serves alcoholic beverages. The first one I have seen. The gift shop seems museumy enough. There are some local artists being sold.i was disappointed that there wasnt much merchandise that expanded on the current exhibits. All the public spaces have great natural light from the huge windows that overlook the grounds. The grounds are an exhibition themselves. Outdoor sculptures are surrounded by beautiful gardens reflecting plants native to the region. It cost adults 10 bucks to get in. As of right now anyone can get in free on Saturday. If not, check to see if they will honor your museum membership from elsewhere.

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!

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!

5-stars because its free every Saturday. Their staff is extremely nice and helpful. So much so that my daughter now wants to be a volunteer docent (guide) there. They have a ton of wasted space though, which makes it look bigger from the outside than what it actually is inside but the exhibits are well done and it has a cool modern vibe to it all.

Great time today.

We enjoyed seeing the Monet exhibit at the Wichita Art Museum. Loved going on a Saturday for free admission. The chandelier on the 2nd floor is a must see. Nice gift store and cafe.

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.

Such beautiful art! Their gift store has amazing products!! Loved the experience!

We had a great time on our field trip today. The facilitator did very well with out age group.

Definitely check out the Preston Singletary exhibit on display through August 2020! Beautiful native American glass sculptures in an immersive exhibit telling the story of Raven.

It was an awesome experience going there on a field trip. I would definitely recommend this museum to anybody or any school who is wanting to visit.

The art museum is not just classy expensive pieces of work like you may envision it to be, it has that, but also a fun side to it with a kids room for books and crafts. And a fun little area.

Free on Saturdays and a large museum with a good variety of art you look at. You definitely should check out the section of glass floor with all of the blown glass art inside it that you can walk out onto (only if you want to).

The Raven is the best exhibit I have ever been to see at the Wichita Art Museum!

Interesting place ot come and spend a few hours at. it is free on Saturday and was not very busy when I went

Really cool exhibit of shadow and light and which taught art museum right now. check it out. Should also try the restaurant at the which to art museum great menu good food great prices.

Nice museum on the river.

Went to the free Saturday Artventure featuring Bob Ross. Loved the painting we were able to do.

The painting is very good. the museum is well organized and parking is also spacious

Its just beautiful

One of my Wichita’s must see places

Wonderful exhibit tonight

It’s seems to be expensive compared to what it offered. Lady at the desk was welcoming and liked stuffs made of glasses.

The museum has many well displayed permanent art works on display that could take several hours. We went to the museum specifically this time to see the OKeeffe show. Her art on display was representative. Descriptions were well done. There are many photographs of her at different ages depicting her friends, career and her lifestyle. Her sewing ability and patience to make clothes on display was impressive. We (4 of us) spent 1 1/2 hrs just at the OKeeffe show then had a great healthy lunch and desert at the fine Museum restaurant. .

Omg, i had the best time. Wanted to go for my birthday and the lady at the welcome desk pulled out a bazooka and played happy birthday haha! The best, never had that happen. Loved the glass art and the glass floor was the best.

They always change the art up so its new and awesome stuff to check out. Plus great kid activities!

Absolutely wonderful and beautiful museum. Definitely take your time to explore and look at all of the pieces on display. And dont forget to check out the bottom floor. There is more to see there. The Chihuly pieces are amazing here! Give them a look!

I love all the free events makes it easy to have fun on the cheap with family.

Nice place. Need to check out the floor and chandelier

The Wichita Art Museum was a very interesting and inspiring place. The art exhibits were displayed nicely and the facilities were kept clean. The staff was inviting and the gift shop had unique and reasonably priced items in it. Very nice place to spend a couple hours and would definitely go back.

The Wichita Art and museum is a fantastic place to see quality art. The garden surrounding the museum is just as impressive!

Great food at cafe

Was pretty interesting take on american art.

Nice to have some culture in a smaller town.

Don’t try to make an event with these people. We gave them six months advance notice about our film screening and gave them all the information they needed. Then they dodged our phone calls until finally telling us with less than two months to spare that they don’t do ticketed events. When we originally set things up, we were told this wasnt an issue.This really killed a major fundraising opportunity for us. Then oddly enough, other events were aloud to be ticketed in the same month. Weird, right?

Great collection of artwork beautifully displayed. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Beautiful venue area. Eclectic souvenir shop and cafe off the main floor. Clean, welcoming, classy.

Wonderful selection of gift and decor items at the WAM gift shop! Love my visits, especially at holidays

Charming exhibits. In particular I wanted my kids to see the lights and shadow exhibit before it moves on.

Over the years, I have enjoyed the WAM very much. My favorite paintings are all here, and the atmosphere is always so relaxed and familiar. The venue is always so clean and easy to get around. The permanent galleries are tasteful, and I thoroughly enjoy the new and rotating exhibits that come to the museum. My favorite room is the western art space! I also have to mention they put on fantastic events for the public and members!

The light and Shadow exhibit was really cool. Itll be there until January.

The textural feel of the exhibits are sublime. Each docent craftfully wields their knowledge of authors and imagery. History on display. Clean and Chuhuly.

Really enjoy this place has lots of events for families

A beautiful and varied collection of art. The Chihuly sculptures are beautifully implemented and breathtakingly splendid. It is great when they spice it up with travelling exhibits.

There are free Saturdays for the public. Also educational activities for members and public.

Excellent place to connect with creativity

Love, love, love this place. Saturday is free admission so get out there! A great place to go when its too hot to be outside!

It is a art museum and is free on Saturday

Enjoyable museum with free admission on Saturday’s.

We had a great timr at the museum. The kids fav display are the glass flowers hung icer rhe reception desk and of course they loved the crafts

Wonderful art museum in a Edward Larabee Barnes designed building. Excellent collections, exhibitions and public programs too!

Lovely little museum. The glass sculptures are magnificent. Free Saturdays and frequent events

What a great museum! An unexpected find in Wichita. I came for the cowboys, but found some thought provoking works of art. From pre columbian pottery and statues to modern works of light and shadow. Worth the trip!
