Shortly after the camera was invented photographers began turning it on native peoples. But rarely were indigenous peoples viewed through the eyes of indigenous photographers. This exhibit features the work of indigenous artists (established and emerging) from North America, Peru, Iraq, and New Zealand.
This exhibit was made possible by the Mid-America Arts Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) didn’t just design a house. He saw each building as a fully integrated whole and painstakingly designed stained glass windows, furniture, carpeting, and even lighting fixtures to reflect his concept. This exhibit employs high-quality reproductions of Wright’s drawings of interiors, furnishings, and household objects.
Funded by a grant from Richard J. Stern Foundation for the Arts.

Between 1865 and 1880, Kansas attracted immigrants at a faster pace than anywhere else in the United States. This exhibit personalizes the story of immigration to the state over the last 150 years, revealing who these new Americans were, where they came from, and why they came to Kansas.
Americans by Choice was developed as part of the 150th anniversary celebration of the U.S. District Court of Kansas and is permanently on display in the Robert J. Dole Courthouse in Kansas City, Kansas. A traveling version of the exhibit is coming to the Library.
