Loved this art museum! It's smaller than other art museums but just as beautiful! Photography, paintings, drawings, sculptors, and special exhibits. They also do a lot of work with the local high school art departments. Art classes for all ages and an activity center for young children. My favorite part of this particular art museum is the large and unique antique clock that sits in the front lobby.
This place is kind of amazing, here were a couple of my favorites and don’t miss the kids table for some drawings and one of those things you stick your head through and take a goofy picture. But, seriously this place is awesome, it was $5 a head and we were LITERALLY the only people there the whole time on a Saturday. She’s bored, do it.
I stumbled upon the Nic while my family and I were in town for the eclipse. The kid-friendly eclipse stations were adorable! My three year old niece was thrilled. The child size door to the kids' room was amazing. I enjoyed the actual museum art myself. I loved that it was very WY specific. Thank you for creating things for kids to do! The gift shop also had the best eclipse t-shirts around. (I wish I could post pictures of the kids' room, but I don't want to post pictures of the kids themselves)
This is a hidden gem in Casper. We walked to it and got there right at opening time. They should advertise a little outside to the fact that they open. Great exhibits that change often and make you want to come back at least quarterly.
Dont miss this hidden gem in Cheyenne, WY. This repurposed factory, in the heart of the city continues to expand, spaces to display local creative art works. Amazing lace latticework details the two Honeylocust trees astride the street entrance. The intricate detail drew me in, circling each trunk, revealing new patterns that branched and shaped along the trunks. The current art exhibits are diverse, displayed with expert care. Don't miss their in-house exhibit of a historic churchtower clockwork, complete with weights and pendulum.
