If you are a USA traveler who loves art, Des Moines is the place for you. There are numerous galleries in Des Moines that feature the old, new and in between.

Start with Sticks. Sticks is a workshop that has gained national praise for its fine collection of furniture and object art. At sticks you can see work in progress as well as finished pieces.

For more art when you travel the USA, the Polk County Heritage Gallery can be found in the restored north lobby of the old Post Office Building. Travel the USA and visit the Hoyt Sherman Place which was built in 1907 and was the first public art gallery in Des Moines. Here you can have your evening meal in the main gallery or just simply tour the home and it's spectacular art.
