Reviews of Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (Museum)

Christoforo Morin

Since we live very close to JCCC, we go to the Nerman Museum often and love to eat in the cafe.Both are very easy to find and parking is close by. A must see for anyone tho lives or is visiting Johnson County. Located on the grounds of Johnson County Community College, this architecturally striking museum has an outstanding, culturally relevant collection from nationally known artists. We happened on the Museum during a weekend visit with friends in Overland Park and wished we had more time to enjoy the exhibits.

So many items that inspired. This is a delightfully small museum that is easy to walk through which gives one time to pause contemplate the exhibits. I go often.

Joann Gough

Wonderful gem! Fantastic exhibits. Don't miss the cafe next door for lunch. A delightful way to spend an afternoon!!

Justin Friedman

Large, open spaces and interesting modern art on display. Much larger than it looks from the outside.

Libbie Bond

Great space, exhibits and atmosphere. Love having another art museum to explore in addition to the Nelson-Atkins and Kemper Museum. Parking isn’t the best, as they are in the middle of a community college campus.

Very accessible contemporary art museum, convenient parking and they offer some great art classes for kids.

Really nice museum. Way more space than it looks like from the lobby. Some very interesting pieces of art displayed. The cafe next to the museum was great too. Good coffee!

Matthew Carver

Very good museum. Not big but very elegant and what you should expect from an art museum.

New special exhibits.

J Jandt

This museum sits on the campus of Johnson County Community College. It's a showpiece and contains significant examples of contemporary art. The at collection is actually spread out all over the campus but the prime pieced are in the Nerman. If you're looking for eye candy and great prints and sculpture, a walk around the hallways on campus is obligatory. And the Cafe Tempo serves great lunches. Can't lose here.

Curlee Brazell

The friendliest place in Kansas. The staff makes you feel at home!

Great gallery of contemporary art with interesting exhibits that cycle through. Very beautiful design of the building and nice cafe on the first floor. Definitely a gem amongst the suburban sprawl of Johnson county.

Nice facility, contemporary art, worth the visit

A variety of contemporary paintings, using a variety of acrylics, oils, paper, and ink. Some statuary, and one video installation. New galleries to open mid-June. Until new space opens, there is limited work to view.

Dylan Harper

Awesome little art museum. Also has a nice little place to eat lunch.

George Baker

Fairly small, so dont expect to spend more than an hour there, but the collection was very nice and thought provoking. I dont know if they change art pieces at all, but if they do I'd def go again

Jody Hill

Beautiful space, delicious meal at Cafe Tiempo.

Wayland Wade II

Beautiful

K. Q. Webster

Though small, this art musesum is top notch. It reminds me a lot of the Nelson's modern wing. And it's free and open to the public!

Julie Perry

Neat exhibits and nice docents...a truly special place to visit.

Emily Smalter

Great collection here - the permanent pieces are excellent, the rotating temporary exhibits are always very interesting/thought provoking. Small enough to get through quickly if you don't have all day to explore a larger museum. There's also other art around campus to visit as well outside the museum collection

Kyle Saylor

Free admission, great artwork, and beautiful building. Great stop if you're in the area and interested in seeing some unique artwork.

Leah Smith

They have awesome classes for kids to attend. If your kids love art, I highly recommend.

7 R

reat place to take the kids and friends from out of town. I still remember my first visit. Pretty cool.

Joseph Lawhorn

This might be worth looking at if you were already in the area, but if you were planning a trip, the Nelson-Atkins or the Kemper are better.

marcia hurlow

What an unexpected pleasure! Better selection of art than many of the smaller contemporary museums. Plus, they support musicians and writers!

D Arthur

Small gallery. Changes art often

Ding Dawn

Whether it's part of the permanent collection, or on temporary loan, there is something for everyone to enjoy gazing upon. The Nerman is home to pieces from many prominent artists world wide.

Becca smith

This is a college level art in a professionally designed space. Very clean and aesthetically pretty. This is a great place for a family activity.

Martez Pinkard

Not A Lot To It, But It's Improving

Cesar Monteiro

Amazing museum full of current art, cant recommend it more honestly. If you like stuffy classical paintings, probably not for you, but I literally saw stained glass in the shape of a bouncy castle, so I'm sold.

Jennifer Tufte

This was a very enjoyable museum! The building is beautiful, everyone was friendly, and the art was impressive! I took my daughters here on a Tuesday afternoon. We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed looking at all the art. It is a smaller museum, which made it a bit more accessible to take kids. We had a great time!

Jennifer McMillan

This is a hidden jewel in Johnson County. Permanent pieces are a wonderful, visiting artists interesting. I hope to see more art pieces in the future. The facility is well designed to show the art. I just want to see more.

s erd

Best place to have a Colchester fest.

Jazz Shademan

Great museum! It's free admission and their contemporary art is beautifully curated.

Briana Kemple

Love this museum/ gallery! It's the perfect size with interesting art by interesting artists! I loved all the exhibits. My mother and I had a great time there. Then we had lunch in the cafe. She loved her salad and sandwich I didn't particularly care for my salmon sandwich and salmon salad. But I did love my cookie, coffee and ambiance!

Chris Hansen

Great place to make friends fast, great professors.

Bobbie Brown

I enjoyed the different artwork & employee's were very friendly.

Another hidden gem in Overland Park. I first came across this while location scouting for a project. The exhibits were amazing and the information desk was very helpful in explaining what was being shown. Even the lobby area was breath-taking with it's almost entirely glass walls. I"ll be sure to visit this museum again.

Jacob Darbyshire

Excellent museum and resource for the community!
