A fun place. Amazing works of art and a very comfortable viewing area to watch the glass blowing. The owner (I assume) came out and explained what they were making and the step by step process. The also had fused glass pieces including jewelry and larger, now decorative pieces. Definitely a hidden gem.

At Mrs Brenda's we strive to make your vacation memories last a lifetime through photographs! With real Hollywood sets including Saloon, Gangster, Victorian and Branson's only OUTDOOR scene, the Tumbleweed wagon!
THIS is the place you want to do your Old Time Photo pictures! We did the hillbilly theme. We are a family of 5 (7 yr, 5 yr, and 2 yr) and she captured it perfectly! They have the best customer service of any old time photo shop I’ve ever been in! They were also so patient with our kiddos and had them dressed up so cute! My daughter NEVER smiled for pictures and they captured one of her smiling! The photos are awesome and very affordable! Anytime we come back to Branson, this will be where we do our old time photos. It was just such a fun and pleasant experience! It’s a family run place which makes all the difference!! ❤️

What a treat it was to visit this place. Got to speak to the lovely artist herself . Hardest part was choosing which lovely pieces I wanted. Her colors on the porcelain were exquisite. What a truly hidden GEM!

The Center's impressive first-floor gallery is designed to properly showcase one-of-a-kind pieces, whether they are the iconic works of George Caleb Bingham and Thomas Hart Benton or original Hare and Hare architectural drawings from the Kansas City collections. Flexible public spaces are also available for hosting a wide range of events. Through its education program, the Center fosters ongoing study of Missouri's past, encouraging connections among scholars in fields such as history, geography, folklore, anthropology, journalism, and other disciplines. Center initiatives consolidate and extend the State Historical Society of Missouri's multifaceted efforts to support scholars, publish new works, provide educational programs, and promote greater understanding of Missouri.
This architectural gem is hidden across the street from peace park in downtown columbia. The exterior and interior designs are remarkable and add another great building to Columbia. The art in the gallery is important and astonishing. The library is huge and gorgeously appointed. The interior is impressive at every turn. This is a new do not miss when visiting columbia.
