Home to a world-class art collection consisting of sculptures, paintings, and more, the Des Moines Art Center is an extraordinary museum that was established in 1948. The permanent collection consists primarily of modern and contemporary pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries, but it also features artwork from other periods, including 18th-century Japanese woodblock prints and spectacular Impressionist paintings. The museum also operates a 4.4-acre sculpture garden downtown, which features works by two dozen artists and can be visited every day between sunrise and midnight. The museum is open itself every day but Mondays, and there is no admission fee.
