Though the museum is closed until further notice in line with K-State’s COVID-19 policies, we invite you to enjoy art and stay connected through a variety of ways:

INSIDE OUT features artworks from the museum’s collection displayed in colorfully lighted windows. Take this outdoor walking tour around the museum building and don’t miss the signs about the art on display. The views are especially stunning at twilight or evening. If you snap a photo of Inside Out, please post it on social media and tag the museum — BeachMuseumofArt on Facebook, BeachMuseum on Twitter and beachmuseum on Instagram.

The museum continues to offer various online resources that are free for all. Enjoy online exhibitions, museum’s YouTube channel featuring videos of art, artists and special programs; collection search tool, educational resources, museum’s social media and more!

Posted on by Kelsey Longpine

Week of the Young Child Celebration
Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art
Saturday, April 21, 2018

The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration first established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). It publicly focuses on the needs of young children and their families, while recognizing the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.

The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, the Kansas Association for the Education of Young Children, USD 383 Early Learning Centers, Kansas Child Care Training Opportunities and K-State Center for Child Development have partnered to celebrate the Week of the Young Child in our community.

Open House 1:30 – 3:00 pm

Visit stations around the museum with featured works from Picturing America produced by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Children’s Art on Display:  USD 383 Early Learning Centers families and children’s “Creative Minds at Work”  April 20 and 21, open hours
Classroom staff took a day and had the families come in and spend time with their child/ren putting their creative minds to work on the theme of water to go with the exhibition “Water Stories.” This is one way USD 383 Early Learning Centers staff and parents share the world of art with their children and are able to build on their school readiness skills and parents are able to be a part of the process.
