Daum Museum: Contemporary Art in Mid-Missouri

Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the Daum Museum is not the mind-binding contemporary art it houses, but where the museum itself is situated: at the State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri.

From what I gather the majority of its permanent collection originates from the acquisitions of Hal Daum, a Sedalia radiologist.  A decent write up about the place, its people and history is on RuralMissouri.org.

I’ve visited three or four times and have enjoyed the experience immensely and urge you to visit, especially if you’re driving between Kansas City and St. Louis with a little extra time.

I snapped the photos below while at the Daum Museum.  The first image, however is a photo collage I whipped up with a free Photoshop knock off for the Mac known as Seashore.  My apologies for not labeling the title and artist of each work.
