Museum of World Treasures brings fossils and historical collections together in Wichita's Old Town.
Its displays range across different periods and subjects rather than following a single local-history theme. The photograph shows the museum's Tyrannosaurus exhibit, a recognizable component of the collection.
Check current hours, admission, and exhibit availability before arriving at East First Street. Educational programs and group visits require separate arrangements. Allow time for several floors or gallery areas and confirm accessibility and photography guidance for the particular exhibits you plan to explore.
