An Art Museum:
The arts make up 75% of our footprint. Our works include paintings, sculpture,
pottery, utilitarian and everyday art, baskets, vessels, and other pieces. Much of
our collection is spaced throughout the galleries. Our focus is primarily on
American folk art, with particular emphasis on Ozarks culture and heritage. Visit
our online art gallery.
An Historic Museum:
The museum's historic collection ranges from pre-history to 1967. The collection
includes artifacts that are historically and culturally significant to Calico Rock and
the surrounding region. The Ozarks culture was born in and around Calico Rock,
Arkansas and our museum outlines the historical growth of this culture and our
region. Our museum pays particular attention to people's everyday lives.
Our Facility:
The museum is located in the historic E.N. Rand Building on Main Street in Calico
Rock, Arkansas. The building was built in 1903 by Mr. Rand as a temporary
railroad warehouse and, ultimately, a business. The connecting Bluff City Bank
Building is owned by the city of Calico Rock and is leased to the museum under
our contract for visitor center services. This building was built in 1896.
