Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art

The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art is a dedicated space on the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan that collects and displays regional artwork. The building houses both permanent holdings and changing exhibitions that show regional and international artists.

The museum was founded to collect and preserve work by artists from Kansas and the surrounding region. Its growth helped bring attention to the art scene across the Midwest.

The museum showcases work from local artists alongside pieces from around the world in its exhibitions. These presentations help visitors understand how Kansas artists fit into the broader art conversation.

The museum offers free admission and complimentary parking for all visitors. Pencil drawing is permitted in the galleries, while flash photography is not allowed, and the entire building is wheelchair accessible.

The museum runs an annual program that allows collectors to purchase selected prints representing its dedication to regional artists. This initiative makes it possible for art lovers to own affordable works while directly supporting creators from the area.
