    It has an excellent infrastructure. I liked the museum, however, they should include more works or more exhibitions.

    Ulrich Museum is a great place for all art lovers and those seeking inspiration. The museum offers great shows, but also diverse and rich programs. It’s free and open to public. Once you are there, make sure you have time to discover their sculpture outdoor collection which will lead you through the whole campus!

    Small venue but full of art!! Friendly staff. Located on the beautiful campus of Wichita State. The building is accessible, well lit, and has elevator. The parking can be challenging or short walk. The building has varied exhibits. I will visit again.

    A wonderful art destination for our community. Definitely a great place to take in some talented and unique works at a price that simply can not be beat! The facade on the front of the building is your first piece of great (and great big!) art and it doesn't disappointed from there.

    Poor leadership, white-centric attitudes (with diversity treated like badges they collect). There’s a reason nobody ever goes there, and the events are only attended by the same 12 old people.

    Loved your collaboration with Woolsey Hall for the Senior Wednesday art and building tour! I've been talking about it for days and haven't run out of good things to say! Thank you!

    The museum is small. The staff don’t know any information on the pieces on the main level. They can’t even tell you who the artist is. I was told to come back on Monday when there was full time staff.

    Didn't have very much to offer, we conquered this museum in less than 15 mins. Had some good works of art but once again, not very much, a hallway, 2 average sized rooms, and that's it, either way, its free to view, so no complaint about money!

    Since it was on the campus where I go to school it was amazing to see it for the first time

  • 2/5 Jay B. 11 months ago on Google
    Real small art museum with limited art here. I didn't care for it.

  • 5/5 Lissette K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to network and learn about different art! 🤩

  • 5/5 Magic S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tonight I attended a poetry reading (one of the first events I've attended since mt health has declined) and this is perhaps the best experience I have ever had. The ramp to enter the building was clear and easy to go down and the person working at the front desk made it clear where the elevator was. When we went to the actual reception and to sit down one of the employees asked if there was anything they could do to make the event more accessible. In my time working as an accessibility consultant I have never had someone come up and ask. I was so overjoyed I nearly cried. I felt less nervous asking of some seats could be moved further back so people couldn't walk behind me (a lot of people attended this evening so my PTSD symptoms flaired). The staff was so incredibly kind I cannot wait to come back for more readings and artist talks.

    Not what I expected. The Ulrich is a small museum and there's no permanent collection. There is, however, a good outdoor sculpture collection located throughout the Wichita State University campus. The outdoor sculpture collection is surprisingly good. But indoors, the Ulrich is small and the art is underwhelming.

    Went to the Basketball coloring event on 24th April 2021 and kids had lots of fun. Great out door event in the covid days. High school volunteers were very helpful. Will looking forward for more events in the summer

  • 5/5 Dale F. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Small but interesting collection of works.

  • 5/5 Delaney J. 2 years ago on Google
    Super nice museum! Small but very well maintained and beautiful sculptures all over campus. Free to enter + unique layout.

  • 5/5 James 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent. An invaluable free service to the public, like the extension service is to gardening or agriculture. Couldn't believe it when the guide told us that anyone, even without credentials, could look at a piece in the vault.
