Des Moines Art Center

4700 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50312

“The Des Moines Art Center is an art museum with an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture, modern art and mixed media. It was established in 1948 in Des Moines, Iowa.” - Wikipedia

I took advantage of some free time to visit the Des Moines Art Center. I’ve visited the museum a few times, the last in 2023 when part of the museum was being remodeled. I’ve always enjoyed my visits.

There were three specials exhibits, the first featuring the works of Firelei Baez, the second featuring Iowa artist, Ben Millett, and the third featuring Haitian art in Iowa. I’m not an art critic and therefore will not delve into whether I liked or didn’t like each exhibition. That said, I can usually find something I like at any art museum/exhibit.

I do need to keep track of current exhibitions and not wait two years to visit this nice museum again.
