ulrich museum of art

I love the exhibits here! It's a good place to spend a quiet afternoon, but first you might want to try their cute little restaurant for soup and sandwiches. Make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy the experience.

Unfortunately the Miro mural on the front of the building is down for renovation, but this is still worth a visit. Two galleries that showed a very nice permanent collection that the school has. A few paintings there that would fit in well at any world class art museum.

The Miro mosaic is gone- having a 5 year renovation. A few nice pieces were on exhibit during our visit- a nice Trova falling man and a great Duane Hansen self portrait sculpture.

Check out the little bug sculpture bug in front of the museum entrance. Very interesting, free, educational museum. Nice visit.

The Ulrich Art Museum is located on the Wichita State University Campus. You are greeted by a wonderful mosaic by Miro which occupies most of the front of the Ulrich Museum building. The Ulrich is a small museum of modern and contemporary works. But, I actually found the many sculptures while walking on campus most fascinating. Right outside the Museum is a huge Millipede...which was dressed in multi-colored knit sox when I visited. Very humerous. The numerous sculptures (over 50) on campus were EXCELLENT, including a Rodin. Also saw a Frank Lloyd Wright designed building. And if you look very carefully, you will find the very first Pizza Hut. All this and more for FREE.
