This free museum is a real treasure! Until November 8, 2020 they have The Art of Tablesetting exhibit. People set a table inspired by a piece of art. Magnificent!

Awesome place to go see, and its free!! Nice restoration of the old house, with great pieces of art all around. Take a minute to view the sculptures outside, and the Sputnik sight right by 8th Street there.

The Rahr West Museum is the site of a beautiful old home. Housing both rotating and permanent art collections you can go back again and again. Ruth West was a patronize the arts purchasing from famous artists as well as the up and coming. View several floors in a beautiful setting. Educational programs are also available . To top it off, they have a replica of a large chunk of the Russian sputnik rocket that dropped in the street right out front.
