Des Moines Art Center

   Modern and contemporary art is the main focus of this museum. The permanent collection has some beautiful pieces but we were amazed by the current exhibit which includes the work of three artists and one artist collective. All of the artwork is created using just tape!

  This one invites visitors to participate by climbing inside and walking around.

  The accessible entrance is a bit of a maze. Follow the signs up the ramp to the push button door. Once inside wait for the attendant to open the next door, go up the ramp and another door will be unlocked for you. When you’re ready to leave somebody will unlock this door again so that you can exit. The museum is accessible but it’s kind of a maze too so it’s easy to miss entire sections.

  RVs will fit in the lot if backed up over the grass or parked in the spaces along the road. Try to get a spot near the museum entrance to avoid a steep uphill push.  Museum   41.58386, -93.68079
