Huge Used Book Sale at the Wichita Art Museum and Free Drop-In Tours

Sharing is caring!

Add to your library (on the cheap!) from an excellent selection of gently used volumes on art and other subjects. The Friends of the Wichita Art Museum will hold a used book sale in the art museum’s Boeing Foyer on Saturday and Sunday, May 1 and 2, 2021. 

Admission to the museum is FREE on Saturday, so plan a little extra time to peruse the art as well.

Art Museum Used Book Sale Schedule

I was told this year’s sale will be the largest ever, so be sure to check out all the great hardcover and paperback selections in many categories.
