Art is not only for Art Museums. If a picture is worth a thousand words, it stands to reason that art can tell us a lot about the times and place where it was produced. Local history museums exist to explore time and place.
This exhibition is part of the ongoing Lois Kay Walls visual art exhibition series produced by the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.
On the third floor you’ll find: The core exhibit “Wichita the Magic City” which chronicles Wichita’s first fifty years. This is where the Museum begins to tell our local story, beginning in the 1860s with a prairie wilderness developed into the fastest growing city in the United States. Also on this floor is the Victorian House immersive exhibit depicting home typical of the emerging middle class in Wichita, the Lois Kay Walls Art Gallery featuring local art, and the Civics and Government Exhibit featuring the 1890s office of the Mayor. The Museum’s restrooms are also located on this floor.
