Great venue, amazing art collection including a Dale chihuly (famous glass artist) glass, paintings acrylic and oil, pen and ink drawings, pottery. All sorts of amazing things. Its free and a really interesting place if you enjoy artwork. The architecture of the building is pretty beautiful too.

In my hometown and I always visit. A well spaced art outlet and seeing Bill Bairds puppets is always a treat.

Great museum! This museum greatly exceeded my expectations and I mean that in the best way possible. Quaint and honestly a little quirky but very inviting with very friendly employees and a nice sculpture garden outside. Highly recommended if you are in Mason City.

I didn't realize they had a room you could rent for events. It was great. All of the staff members are very helpful. It's an amazing room, and there is a whole great museum to explore also. I will definitely be using this place the next time I need to host an event.
