Butler Institute of American Art

Its historic museum building and changing exhibitions offer a substantial cultural stop near the university campus.

Admission is free. Check the current exhibition list and allow time to compare works from different periods and media rather than rushing through the rooms. The museum currently posts a traffic alert about construction near Wick Avenue, so consult its suggested routes before traveling. Programs and guided visits can have separate arrangements from ordinary gallery access.
