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.
Featuring works from C.A. Seward, John Noble, Edmund Davison, Birger Sandzen, Bruce McGrew, and more!
On view on the Historical Museum's 3rd Floor, throughout 2026 as part of the ongoing Lois Kay Walls visual art exhibition series produced by the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.
Be the first to visit this new exhibition during the First Friday opening on April 3, 2026.

When a bride and groom accidentally book their bachelorette and bachelor parties at the same Chili’s, what starts as a night of drinks and celebration spirals into a wildly chaotic comedy of love, lies, and lunacy. As an overbearing mother, a drunken father, and two scheming “friends” conspire to tear the couple apart (complete with fake cheating scandals, a mysterious hickey, and a jaw-dropping musical retelling of their whirlwind romance) the wedding hangs by a thread. Packed with outrageous characters, rapid-fire jokes, and absurd twists, this high-energy farce asks: can true love survive when everyone around you is completely unhinged?
Then following intermission, enjoy our Love on the Rocks Revue
