Visit the Beach Museum of Art exterior and virtually!

Though the museum is closed until further notice in line with K-State’s COVID-19 policy, we invite you to enjoy art and stay connected through a variety of ways:

Inside Out features artworks from the museum’s collection displayed in lighted windows. Take this outdoor walking tour around the museum building and don’t miss the signs about the art on display. The views are especially stunning at twilight. If you snap a photo of Inside Out, please post it on social media and tag the museum — BeachMuseumofArt on Facebook, BeachMuseum on Twitter and beachmuseum on Instagram.
