Update: I just want to update that I emailed them after I had done the review and got a response right away. I should of emailed, before doing the review and I feel bad about that.

The building itself feels like stepping into a piece of childhood, filled with charm and nostalgia. The traveling quilt displays add another rich layer to the experience, changing things up and giving every visit something...
Read moreThe Missouri Quilt Museum is filled with so many beautiful quilts ranging in age from the 1800's to today. There are a lot of other interesting items including sewing machines, thimble collections, and industrial machines. The Museum is in an old school building and I love they are incorporating the original school in their exhibits. For example, they use the chalk boards to display information about quilts on exhibit and they use lockers for a fun exhibit about quilt blocks. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
