The Daum Museum gives Sedalia a contemporary-art anchor
The Daum Museum of Contemporary Art opened in 2002 on the State Fair Community College campus in Sedalia and collects, preserves, and exhibits modern and contemporary art.
Sedalia’s culture is not only the State Fair, ragtime, and rail history. The Daum Museum of Contemporary Art is a separate anchor on the State Fair Community College campus. The museum says it opened in 2002 in Sedalia and collects, preserves, and exhibits modern and contemporary works of art.
The museum’s own site describes three exhibition cycles each year and multiple galleries. Its about page ties the museum’s operating support to State Fair Community College and says the college’s educational mission guides the museum’s work.
That gives Pettis County a useful identity note that cannot be moved unchanged to another county. Sedalia has a public college campus with a contemporary-art museum attached to it. For residents and visitors, check the museum’s official site for current exhibitions and hours rather than relying on a stale event listing.
