I absolutely love the McNider Art Museum! I have been coming here since I was a child. From making arts and crafts, to pottery classes, or looking at the Bill Baird goat puppets from the movie The Sound of Music; it is a must see stop while in Mason City. There are rotating exhibits in the lower level if you stop back from time to time, there is always something new to see.
