A friend and I planned a girls' day trip and Mason City was the chosen destination. The Charles H. MacNider Museum was our first stop. What a hidden gem! The art work was amazing.: a photography competition was running with fabulous regional captured images. There were Grant Wood on display and the Dr. Chang section was filled with gorgeous pottery, sculpture and more. The Bill Baird puppets from The Sound of Music were delightful to see up close. The Museum store was filled with the work of local artisans, local history books to educate and more for purchase. I can't wait to go back again!

This museum truly exceeded my expectations! The grounds, the building, the variety of the collection and adjacent sculpture garden are all immaculate. I was surprised to see a fish pond inside plus ceramics, photography, watercolors, and such notable artists on display. The gift shop is superb with many local artists and one of a kind finds at a fair price.
