Grant Wood Studio and Visitor Center

As an art teacher it was interesting to hear a bit more about grant wood but I was more invested in the neat architecture and design of the studio space. That said, my partner was not very happy with how long the visit was. When we stopped into the visitor area we were asked to sit and watch a 25 minute video about Grant Wood and his life which admittedly wasn’t my favorite part. I would suggest, if you have the confidence to do so, that you ask to skip the video.

The Grant Wood Studio and Visitor Center is a wonderful treasure of history that has been carefully maintained by the excellent staff at the Cedar Rapids Museum.

A tour of the studio where Grant Wood created some of his most lasting works. If this is something you are interested in then you will like this.

Great spot to visit with a lot of really interesting information about Grant Wood’s life! It was so cool to get a peek inside his studio and home. Plus, admission is free! Would definitely recommend a visit.

Fascinating little place where Grant Wood lived and painted. He was brilliant in converting what was basically just a hay loft into a very efficient living space. It gave me a new understanding of the person behind such famous paintings as American Gothic.

Fantastic experience. It was so amazing seeing the studio and making connections to some of his art. The staff was so. Ert helpful and knowledgeable!

Most see in Cedar Rapids. Grant Woods is one of America's Outstanding Painter's. The staff does a fantastic job of sharing his life story. Located behind the future History Center in the John B Turner Home.

Very interesting and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Needs air conditioning, at least in the modern downstairs studio/museum area, would have stayed longer if it wasn't so hot.
