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.

We are pleased to announce that Plymouth Congregational Church and theNational AIDS Memorial are partnering together to bring twelve panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt (the Quilt) to Wichita as part of the Community Display Program. The Quilt panels will be on display at Plymouth from June 1 through 7, 2026. The display is free to the public, with any donations received supporting the mission and work of Plymouth. “The Quilt sections on display connect the story of AIDS directly to the work we do to provide services, educate, and raise greater awareness about HIV today. The Quilt offers an important reflection about the tremendous loss of life, allowing us to remember those we’ve lost, ensure their lives are never forgotten, and provide hope for the future.”OPEN WEEKDAYS: Jun 1-5 Mon/Fri from 10 am to 2 pm. The program includes viewing during First Friday Art events + Sunday morning from 9 AM to noon.

Please join us if you could use an hour of deep relaxation!
