Daum Museum


Blog #8- Sedalia-Daum Museum of Contemporary Art-July 3, 2012

   Today you will go with us to visit the Daum Museum, which is housed on the State Fair Community College Campus. The Daum opened in 2002 to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit modern and contemporary works of art. Dr. David Daum, a local Dentist and philanthropist donated his collection to the College. The Museum features works by Andy Warhol, Dale Chihuly, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell, Peter Voulkos, Louise Borgeois, and Betty Woodman.
  Much of Contemporary Art is up to your individual interpretation, but a few portrayed definite subjects. In the gallery devoted to the State Fair, note the picture of our Granddaughter, Peyton, the horse for Susan H.,  and "Sitting in the Cheap Seats" on hay bales.
   The "Crowning glory" of the Daum is the magnificent glass chandelier by Dale Chihuly-WOW! Wouldn't that fit into your living room decor????
    Thanks for coming with us. Hope y'all enjoyed your tour of the Daum Museum,
       There is a lot to see in Sedalia, so please join us on our next Blog.
      Blessings, 
           Mary Ann, Les, and Pollybird
