The Ulrich Museum of Art, located on the campus of Wichita State University, is the region's source for modern and contemporary art. Since its founding in 1974, the museum has served as Wichita's premier venue for contemporary works by established and emerging artists of national and international significance. A lively schedule of provocative and challenging exhibitions is complemented by an important collection of 20th-century painting, sculpture, works on paper, and photography, as well as works by 21st-century artists.
Mission Statement:
Expand human experience through encounters with the art of our time.
