Owensboro Museum of Fine Art

Two exhibits in the small museum are permanent - the Decorative Arts Wing which features five period rooms with furnishing and decorative art from five centuries and the Stained Glass Gallery which has 16 magnificent stain glass windows donated by by the Catholic Diocese of Owensboro. The windows were originally installed in St. Joseph Church that was built in 1880 and demolished in 1989. The stain glass windows are so tall that they extend above the first floor. 

Other exhibits when we visited included religious art and Native American art. There's a small area for kids with interactive exhibits. 

The museum is accessible. 

The parking lot is small but short RVs will fit if parked through the spaces or backed up over the grass. There's only on entrance/exit so keep this in mind before pulling into the lot. Museum  37.7671, -87.1117
