Wichita Art Musuem, KS


Back when Joe and I were in Texas and we had figured out that we were pretty much halfway through our money and decided to start heading north instead of more east, we had decided that we were going to get through the Great Plains states pretty quick. So we looked at our 1000 Places to See Before you Die book and would pick out one or two places to check out and move on, according to our driving path. So Kansas basically had one thing really to offer us, other than their crazy storms, and that was their Wichita Art Museum. So Joe and I went and checked it out... it only cost us $4 a piece, what a steal.
They had this amazing blown glass art that was in the floor, you could take your shoes off and walk on the glass and see all the blown glass in the floor. They had a traveling pottery exhibit, which Joe loved since he is really into pottery. I was very sneaky and took some good photos of some of the art! (I was only supposed to be allowed to take pictures of the art that the museum owned, not any of the traveling exhibits) It was a fairly small museum, but definitely worth checking out on our way through Kansas.
Other than the museum, we did not see much in Kansas, just what we saw from the road. Not our kind of scenery...
Next we were headed to Nebraska!
