Cedar Rapids Museum of Art

A lovely visit to a lovely museum. Several different rooms of exhibits, it is easy to get from one area to another. The building itself is also quite nice, and worth some appreciation by itself. Quite a few pieces by Grant Wood, the painter who made American Gothic, though that one isn't in Cedar Rapids.

I was very suprised by how small this museum is and how limited the collection is. I understand that this is a smaller midwest city, but compare this with a museum like the Cleveland Museum of Art (also a smaller midwestish city), it is a disappointment. I dont think the $10 entrance fee is worth it, as nominal as it is.

Wonderful experience, such a peaceful quaint museum, the Grant Wood exhibit was my favorite. Really cool gift shop too!

Beautiful museum with lots of artwork and history to see and learn about! This museum holds the largest collection of Grant Wood works of art in the world, literally! We saw they were offering free admission for a limited time so we took advantage of that opportunity with having a group of people to take. Well worth the hour drive 🥰

Highly recommend visiting! I love and appreciate the free admission during the summer months. They have such beautiful and unique art pieces that will rotate sometimes. It is so fun coming back and seeing what is new. The staff are friendly and helpful in answering any questions you may have. The museum is quiet, clean, and spacious. There are plenty of areas for sitting, including a large sitting and reading room. I also love visiting their gift shop that has a wide variety of items for anyone’s taste or preference, even having a kids section. We parked in front of the museum on the street, which is free on evenings and weekends. Looking forward to my next visit.

Really nice collection of Midwest art! I only had about 1.5 hours, but I was able to at least get a peek at everything. I was really impressed with the gift shop. It had a lot of cool things for sale, I wish I had saved more time to look.

We happened to visit on a day that was free. Parts of the building have a mild mildew smell to it, I’m not a fan of that. That aside the seeing art with the kids was fun. It’s two stories and there’s a gift shop. Be prepared to pay well beyond retail value for everything except a soda at the gift shop.

The exhibits were delightful. I loved the audio that was included in the black migration exhibit. I wish more of the artist included details about the art so you could see ot from there point of view.
