Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art is a regional museum that aims to educate and engage the public through the arts. It houses more than 8,000 works spanning from Roman antiquity to contemporary pieces, with particular strength in American art from the early 20th century and the world's largest collection of Grant Wood works; its holdings also include Roman portrait busts donated by Tom and Nan Riley and an extensive print collection from the 15th century onward donated by Peter O. Stamats. Because the collection is too expansive to display in full, visitors frequently encounter rotating exhibitions and new discoveries on different visits. The museum serves visitors, researchers, educators, and the broader community by presenting art-focused programming and education. In early 2026, the museum store hosted a trunk show featuring wearable art by local artisans, highlighting ongoing community engagement.
