Coutts Art Museum - El Dorado, Kansas The Coutts Art Museum in El Dorado, Kansas is in the former Butler County State Bank. The third floor of the building was made into the Coutts Memorial Museum of Art in 1970 and over time has filled the entire building. The galleries include the work of many 20th Century artists. A significant portion of the permanent collection is devoted to the western United States, but there are works by European artists as well. Although portions of the third floor have permanent exhibits, most of the museum is made up of temporary exhibits. My favorite parts of the museum during my most recent visit were the French impressionist paintings in the European Gallery and the temporary "Misshaped Clouds" exhibit of conceptual sculpture by Matt Lyczak. I also like the "Sculpture Plaza" in the alley next to the museum, with sculptures and a tile mosaic titled "Glory of the Hills" by Phil Epp and Terry Corbett. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday and there is no charge ofr admission.
