Reviews of Gordon Parks Museum
"Nicely done tribute to an amazing man! The museum itself is not large, but it provides a unique glimpse into the many facets of Park’s life and interests. The museum director was most helpful in answering our questions. It was well worth the trip!"
"This museum is a tribute to one of the great Renaissance men or the 20th Century. I did learn a few things about Gordon Parks which I did not know before. But the museum is quite small. I would have liked for more of Parks' photography to have been on display. Still for the serious photographer, it is well worth the pilgrimage. It is hard to find though. It is located inside one of the buildings of the local community college with no sign showing the location. But just ask someone for directions. Facility and students certainly know where the museum is."
"A wonderful tribute to one of our country's most important 20th century figures. Gordon Parks was a polymath, so gifted as a musician, filmmaker, and photographer. The museum is not large, but be sure to leave enough time to absorb and reflect upon this man's great works."
"This place was amazing. I grew up in Fort Scott and had.no clue it was there. My children were fascinated by the stuff inside. It's a cute and great little museum. Will definitely come visit again next time I am.back in town."
"I visit this museum a few times a year and find it amazing that such a jewel of history, education, and culture in our community is tucked away inconspicuously in the Ellis Fine Arts Center, across from the theater. I first entered the museum while I was a new FSCC student in 2013. I was early for English class one day and just decided to stop by and check it out. The relatively small museum is loaded with photos, exhibits, clothing, etc. from Gordon Parks' life, very nicely done for our little town. The curator, Jill, is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, and happy to answer any questions. My kids' favorite feature is the creative area for children. Stocked with a variety of paper and art supplies, it is perfect for preschool to elementary-aged kids and will keep them busy while adults examine the exhibits and learn about the impressive life and career of Gordon Parks. The museum sponsors a number of special events every year, ranging from movie nights to photo contests to spoken poetry nights. It is part of what makes our community so supportive of the Arts. Highly recommended!"
