About

The Wichita Art Museum brings people, ideas, and American art together to enrich lives and build community.

Story

Nestled in the heart of the Museums on the River district just five minutes from downtown in the Riverside neighborhood, the Wichita Art Museum is home to a nationally renowned collection of American art.

As the largest art museum in the state of Kansas, WAM houses one of the country’s premier collections with 7,000 works in our permanent collection, including masterpieces by Mary Cassatt and Edward Hopper.

The Museum features two dramatic and large-scale works by Seattle glass artist Dale Chihuly. Inspired by the intricate patterns of traditional Persian glass, the Persian Seaform Installation provides a stunning first impression at the Museum’s entrance and hanging in the S. Jim and Darla Farha Great Hall is the Confetti Chandelier.

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.

The art is a wonderfully eclectic mix of world-renowned and regional. I think our Chihuly installations are more beautiful than the one at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The museum cafe serves excellent food at moderate prices. There is even an outdoor art garden surrounding the museum. Best of all, Saturdays are free!

Wife's work Christmas party. The venue had an attractive design, but the staff of the museum were less than professional. Felt like we were surrounded by snobs who didn't have adequate communication. We were told that the museum would close in half an hour so we went for a quick tour to be greeted less than a minute later with the museum would close in 20min. About ten steps later we were shown out by yet another staff member who was out of the loop. Staff was rude at best, the 'art' was a joke. Maybe I am not a modern art fan, but what little I saw made me glad to leave.

We went on Black Friday. Turned out to be free, which is always a bonus. Fantastic traveling exhibit Irving Penn photographs. Very nice in house collection, including 2 Hoppers and a Cassatt. Beautiful examples of Chihuly glass.

Wonderful galleries and a very affordable price ($7 for adults $3 for kids). They had galleries explaining different eras of art, and also photography and how film cameras work. They gift shop was pretty cool too. They even had a narea for kids to draw, read, play, and relax. Very cool muesum, 10/10 would recommend
