Nestled in the picturesque Czech Village of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library stands as a vibrant tribute to the rich heritage and experiences of Czech and Slovak immigrants. This cultural gem features engaging galleries that delve into their history, including a captivating permanent exhibition titled "Faces of Freedom: The Czech and Slovak Journey." This multimedia experience takes visitors through significant historical events such as the World Wars and life under Communist rule, ultimately highlighting their quest for freedom in America.
Very informative and knowledgable staff! Everyone was very welcoming and as we only had a short time to spend there they were able to give suggestions on what to see quickly. Quality exhibits and gift shop with great gift ideas. Worth the stop and perfect location to then walk around an explore more of the Czech Village.
Elizabeth K — Google review
Professionally curated collections including both historical and modern treasures. The museum highlights the Immigrant experience as well as the home country experience. People exploring their heritage will find an abundance of information on Czech and Slovak culture. The volunteers offer valuable insights and personal stories. The gift shop includes authentic pieces for purchase. Additionally, the library has limitless resources and helpful and knowledgeable staff.
Paige K — Google review
The museum represents our history, which should resonate deeply with every Slovak and Czech. It reminds us where we came from, what kind of world we once lived in, and why we should value freedom and democracy. Powerful stories of our ancestors are told here.
Richard R — Google review
Worth the stop. In this era when immigration is pivoting, I am so glad to drop in to this museum; and listen to the VOICES of FREEDOM. This exhibit helps me realize just how grateful I am for the freedom and privileges I have inherited. I live on the backs of those who came before me here in this land, and those who sacrificed for the preservation of our liberties and ideals. Beautifully and artfully done.
PTR — Google review
This museum contains exhibits and artifacts chronicling the arrival of Czech and Slovak immigrants to the United States. The museum also contains a store and library, which includes books and periodicals for research. The staff are very knowledgeable about this overlooked piece of American history. Highly recommended for history buffs.
Jerel J — Google review
As someone who enjoys visiting museums across the US that focus on the cultures and countries from which immigrants came to America, I can confidently say the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library in Cedar Rapids is an absolute gem. Impressive Scale and Infrastructure The size of this facility is truly astounding. This isn't just a small cultural center—it's a comprehensive 50,000 square-foot institution that rivals major museums in much larger cities. The infrastructure is remarkable. Outstanding Exhibits and Experiences The exhibits were superb throughout. Each display thoughtfully tells the story of Czech and Slovak immigration and culture, making it accessible whether you have personal connections to this heritage or are simply curious about American immigration history. A particular highlight was watching the clock tower's on-the-hour display of Czech workmanship—it's a rewarding experience that showcases the artistic traditions and craftsmanship that immigrants brought with them to America. A Source of Pride Having grown up in Northwest Iowa and spent time in Omaha, I've seen how immigrant communities maintain connections to their heritage. The Czechs, both those from the US and from the Czech Republic itself, must be incredibly proud of this museum. It's clear that significant care, resources, and love have gone into creating this institution. Bottom Line This is absolutely a must-visit destination in Iowa. Whether you're interested in immigration history, Czech and Slovak culture, or simply appreciate well-curated museums, the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library delivers an exceptional experience that honors both the immigrant journey and the rich cultural traditions that continue to enrich American communities today.

This is an entry fee well worth spent. You could literally spend two days in this place looking at the exhibits.

My husband and I stumbled in here, the displays were so informative and I love learning about another culture. We ended walking around for a couple of hours, the clothes and music were by far my favorite, the ship was also pretty cool. The gift shop seemed crazy high in prices but worth getting a couple of trinkets to commemorate your visit, the ladies working there were so nice!

Cedar Rapids Museum of Art boasts a collection of over 7,000 works that emphasizes on American art from the 20th century. The museum is cozy and not too large, making it a pleasant space to explore. Notably, the museum features an impressive exhibition of Grant Wood's artwork, including his famous 'Woman with Plants.' Visitors can also enjoy other artworks such as Frieseke's 'Before the Window.'
Beautiful museum with lots of artwork and history to see and learn about! This museum holds the largest collection of Grant Wood works of art in the world, literally! We saw they were offering free admission for a limited time so we took advantage of that opportunity with having a group of people to take. Well worth the hour drive 🥰
Shellby — Google review
Wonderful museum in Cedar Rapids. I learned a lot about Grant Wood. Worth a visit if you're downtown. I appreciate the local artist exhibitions as well.
Jen B — Google review
Highly recommend visiting! I love and appreciate the free admission during the summer months. They have such beautiful and unique art pieces that will rotate sometimes. It is so fun coming back and seeing what is new. The staff are friendly and helpful in answering any questions you may have. The museum is quiet, clean, and spacious. There are plenty of areas for sitting, including a large sitting and reading room. I also love visiting their gift shop that has a wide variety of items for anyone’s taste or preference, even having a kids section. We parked in front of the museum on the street, which is free on evenings and weekends. Looking forward to my next visit.
Megan — Google review
We happened to visit on a day that was free. Parts of the building have a mild mildew smell to it, I’m not a fan of that. That aside the seeing art with the kids was fun. It’s two stories and there’s a gift shop. Be prepared to pay well beyond retail value for everything except a soda at the gift shop.
Sarah S — Google review
I'll go ahead and give them five stars because it was free the day/time I went, and they don't force you to exit thru the gift shop. Otherwise it's a bit small but since I don't know what they charge even I won't judge them for that. What they did have was generally pretty impressive, the Grant Wood collection was surprisingly beautiful. The Roman section had some great historic items as well. There's as a large focus on local Iowa artists, and a lot of landscape works at the moment at least. Plenty of free parking in the area on weekdays, I saw a garage too but don't know the situation. Staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth checking out. Building is old and pretty cool.

Eric S — Google review
I really enjoyed my first visit to this wonderful museum; my primary purpose was to see their Grant Wood collection. I phoned ahead of time to better understand their holdings as well as their relationship to the Grant Wood studio a few blocks away. I was fortunate enough to speak with Sean, the Executive Director, who went above and beyond to not only answer my basic questions, but also to provide many suggestions as to how to maximize my visit, including his recommendation to ensure that I view their works by Marvin Cone, whom I was not familiar with. I am grateful for Sean's guidance, and am now a new fan of Cone. The museum has a well-rounded curation, and features a variety of types paintings, sculpture, and ceramics, to name a few, as well as a fantastic museum store. I highly recommend a visit.

Nestled in the vibrant city of Cedar Rapids, the African American Museum of Iowa stands as a beacon of cultural heritage and history. This remarkable institution is dedicated to celebrating the rich contributions and experiences of African Americans throughout Iowa's past. Visitors can immerse themselves in thoughtfully curated exhibits that delve into various aspects such as art, sports, politics, and civil rights movements that have shaped the state.
Very nice displays with a large space to walk around and look at different exhibits My favorite is the sit in counter and Egunegun display.

This is a small but powerful museum it captures the history and the spirit of the African-American in Iowa a story often never told .both my mother myself and my children enjoyed it'll take about an hour to an hour and a half to go through so if you find yourself in cedar rapids Iowa it's definitely worth the visit.

Entrance is $6 but there is a student discount for high school ages. I thought it would be all sad things, but it actually was a perfect mix of things to make you smile and others which made you truly think of the history and significance of black people in the US. Would definitely recommend!
Ashley W — Google review
Having recently been to the holocaust museum, I wasn't sure what I was in store for here. Luckily it wasn't nearly as traumatizing of an experience, and was more one of education and disgust for prior generations, elders, and southerners that I felt. There's a ton to read in the first section and it's disturbing but very informative details on the slave trade. Then you go into accomplishments of African American scientists, athletes, president, etc. The current exhibit that I believe changes was racist items from the past. It's curious that people could ever think some of these things were acceptable or funny. Many people seem to act like this is far gone history, when it's kind of not. I'm a middle aged white guy and even I knew someone who knew a slave first hand. So if you think about it, it really wasn't that long ago, and this isn't something we should ignore or forget. Especially with everything going on today.

Visitors praise the friendly atmosphere and community involvement of DKW. They offer art classes for all levels and host fun art shows. The gallery is described as beautiful and inviting, with visitors enjoying browsing through unique pieces while sipping on coffee.
We have bought 4 pieces over the years for DKW Art Gallery and love everyone of them. They are great people who are very involved in the local art scene. The last piece we bought had to be shipped and it arrived in perfect condition, even though it traveled though a snow storm! I highly recommend you stop by and look at their art!

DKW is an amazing and energetic studio and gallery featuring local artists and supporting the arts in general. Deb and Mark are helpful, welcoming and amazing people who believe in their work and the work of the artists they support as well as their students. I have been taking art classes regularly at this studio and would recommend it to anyone, no matter what level of artist you are. Deb is a knowledgeable, fun and encouraging teacher and I've learned so much from her.

This art gallery is an absolute gem! The classes they offer are fantastic—whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s been dabbling in art for years, there’s something for everyone. The instructor is not only incredibly talented but also super patient and encouraging. They make you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The whole atmosphere is welcoming and judgment-free, which made it so much easier to relax and actually enjoy the creative process. You don’t have to be “good” at art to feel like you belong here—they’re all about helping you grow and have fun along the way. Highly recommend checking it out. It’s more than just a gallery—it’s a creative community! 🎨💫

Brucemore is a grand 19th-century mansion situated on a historic 26-acre estate in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It serves as a tribute to the legacies of three prominent local families. Initially constructed in 1884 for Caroline and her children, it was renowned as 'the grandest house west of Chicago.' The mansion was designed in the Queen Anne style but underwent renovations by subsequent owners, George and Irene Douglas, who transformed it into a simpler Craftsman style.
Beautiful historic home tour. Ticket prices are very reasonable for such a lovely tour. We saw the Christmas display, but wish to return in summer to see the gardens. Staff was very kind and knowledgeable.

A beautiful historic home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The house tour was informative, interesting, and even had a few twists! The grounds and gardens are beautiful and open to the public for a stroll, to walk the dog, or wander with children. It must necessarily be a wonderful and g.j gorgeous backdrop f ou r the many community arts events held there. I am looking forward to returning during the holiday season.
Lynn H — Google review
Only toured the grounds so can’t speak to the inside of the house. Grounds were beautiful to walk around, some paved paths, but otherwise you can just walk through the gardens and hilltop. Free to see the grounds so worth it for a quick stop. They could use some better signage for some of the buildings. Even if we had time to tour the house, didn’t even know where to get the tickets. One staff member we saw was less than helpful and couldn’t even direct us. Google maps may take you to the “exit” to get in, so look for the one small sign on 1st pointing to actual main entrance.
Elizabeth K — Google review
Very interesting and unique historic property. Only $5 to explore the mansion. The organ alone is worth the admission. The Grant Wood porch is a real gem for artistic types. I only wish the interpretive displays and brochures would explain more of how the families who lived here positively impacted the local community and how their philanthropy was significant to the city/region. Talking to the docents, there is a lot of additional information that could be shared. This additional information is what makes a historic property interesting. This alone dropped it one star. Otherwise, it would be five stars for me.

NewBo City Market, situated in the New Bohemia neighborhood, is a thriving indoor market established in 2012 to revitalize the flood-devastated district. It features unique stores and eateries supporting local entrepreneurs and artists. The Rotary Hall at the heart of the market hosts independent food and craft vendors, a commercial kitchen, and special events. Additionally, it serves as an entrepreneurial incubator for small businesses.
This market had good food options and some fun shops as well. It wasn't very busy which surprised me during lunch time. However, lots to choose from. We got Pita's and it was very fresh and tasty. There was a lot of seating available on the otherside and this was a perfect place to stop on our 8 hour road trip from Minnesota to St. Louis.

Loved this place!! So glad we decided to stop in on our visit to Cedar Rapids. Such a great concept-- wish we had this back home! There are a lot of food vendors, which was perfect because we were stopping by at dinnertime. Everyone in my group was able to get exactly what they wanted, kind of like a food court in a mall. I got a bulgogi wrap and matcha boba from Oja, and both were amazing. My truffles from Lori Ann's Candies were some of the best I've had (highly recommend the maple cream). The non-food vendors had some super cute items, which seemed reasonably priced. Definitely worth a trip in!

This is a beautiful place to see a show. It is a smaller, more personal venue. From the old ticket booth as the "Will Call", to the chandeliers, to the beautiful ceilings & interior, the venue itself is a show worth seeing. I saw Blue October in covert there, the sound was great as well. I will definitely go to shows here again.

We went to see Swan Lake. The production was phenomenal! However, I'll say that the seating is extraordinarily tight. There is no shoulder room. If you're on the end of a row, be prepared to step into the aisle rather than just standing to let someone out... very VERY tight. I'm less than five feet tall, and it was uncomfortable for me to sit through the entire ballet. If the seating were spaced more comfortably, I would have quickly given five stars.
Faith W — Google review
The Paramount theater is a nice setting for plays, concerts and different kinds of shows. The acoustics are wonderful. The space is large, however it has a cozy feeling to it. There really are not any bad seats. The service people are nice and the refreshments are okay priced. It is a beautifully redone place well worth a visit. Just saw weird Al last night. Still a great place.

The History Center, located in a former funeral home known as Turner's, is a local historical society that offers research opportunities by appointment. While some visitors were disappointed with the displays compared to its previous location on 1st Ave, the staff was highly praised for their knowledge and helpfulness. The center provides extensive information on Linn County roots, making it a worthwhile place to explore.
We held our wedding ceremony at the History Center and can't express how beautiful everything was! Jenny communicated everything clearly ahead of the day, supported our planning with her expertise, and made sure the wedding day went smoothly without any issues. We highly recommend the History Center as a venue for your next event! (Photography by Jill Beswick)

The History center is a dual experience of learning about the past and current events of Cedar Rapids, it's businesses and important persons; as well as a closer look at this fine old house which was once upon a time a Funeral home. The exhibits are carefully curated and interestingly displayed. There are interactive learning stations that engage all age groups. Audio and video segments accompany some of the exhibits. A pretty sitting room has been decorated with artifacts from a locally famous hotel. This museum does an excellent job of making the past seem vital to today's city residents. The exhibits feel accessible and not untouchable as in many history venues. Walk up the grand staircase. Imagine life as it was. The staff person or volunteer that was at the front entry was friendly and informative. Giving us helpful guidance regarding directions through the house and reminders of a return visit to see the Grant Wood studio, which is right next door open on Weekend hours only. The admission was free during this month of July 2024, which had been sponsored by a local business. Please pass on my thanks to them for the fun afternoon.

Staffed with some excellent people. The museum has exhibits from pre-historic Iowa through the mid-twentieth century. Further exhibits regarding somewhat more contemporary events rotate throughout the year. The museum also contains an extensive library of historical documents for anyone doing local history research.

The Gilded Pear Gallery in Cedar Rapids, IA is a top-notch art institution that boasts an extensive contemporary art collection featuring pieces from over 70 artists. Founded by Suzy McGrane-Hop in 2011, this full-service gallery offers a range of services including selling, appraising, restoring, and framing paintings, jewelry, and sculptures. The gallery showcases a diverse collection with rotating exhibits throughout the year.
I worked with Suzy and her team to design a shadow box to display my martial arts belts. They were great to work with during the design process and came in at a price point that did not break the bank. I had a rough idea of what I was looking for when I came in but they took that idea and completely delivered beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend working with the team at Gilded Pear.

My design team and I regularly work with Gilded Pear. They have a beautiful gallery and very knowledgable staff. We're able to select art for our projects, meet with our clients in the gallery, and have precious art reframed when needed. My favorite project with Gilded Pear was a collaboration to create large scale original art with a favorite artist. With the artist filming her process, Suzy and Lauren fine tuning details, to a laugher filled installation this was a beautiful experience.

The Gilded Pear team was truly wonderful to work with. They are subject matter experts! They took a very beat up, old, blurry image and transformed it into a beautiful, sharp image our organization will cherish for years to come. It's an investment piece, but oh-so worth it. Cannot speak highly enough about this team!

For captivating stage performances, this theater provides an opportunity to witness live theatrical magic.

I’ve been so pleased to attend many shows at TCR over the years. I’m continuing impressed with the caliber of talent we have in CR! Buying tickets for shows is easy. I enjoy the selection of refreshments available for purchase. My kid attended several theater camps and programs at TCR over the years.

We cannot get enough of this place! It all started a couple years ago when we decided to try Spongebob Squarepants the Musical for our child's birthday gift. I love musicals, but had no idea if the rest of the family would. I took my husband, son, my mom, and my niece along. We had such a blast getting the specialty crafted drink in a Spongebob cup, plus snacks, plus a show - that we've been regulars ever since. We try to go to 2 - 3 shows per year. The kids know that every Christmas they are getting a musical or two as an experience gift! We even have our favorite show time and favorite seats. The performances are always spectacular! School House Rock had the kids bouncing in their seats and clapping like crazy! The Waitress, Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast - fabulous! We can't wait until July to see Little Shop of Horrors! The staff (probably volunteers) are always helpful and kind.

We went to see the Grant Wood Stroke of Genius , first time at theatre and was smaller than I am used to, but seats were comfortable and looked like every seat has a great view of stage. Attendants were very helpful and concessions not outrageous, you have to buy a cup ($3.00) instead of taking glass bottles in, but 1$ refill on pop (coke products).

Nestled in the heart of The District, The Ideal Theater & Bar boasts a rich history dating back to 1914. Originally one of six theaters in the area, it uniquely catered to local Czech immigrants by showcasing films and newsreels in their native language. Today, this vibrant venue has transformed into a beloved music hotspot where patrons can enjoy live performances while sipping on expertly crafted cocktails.
Amazing music venue with genuine staff! The Ideal provided excellent drinks accompanied by a warm, melody driven environment. Dropped in, by chance, to discover Molly Nova & The Hawks were playing. WOW, was I lucky…. The night inspired me to return for Open Mic (Sunday)…. Thank you, Kenyon, for providing the music and environment to bring regulars and newcomers together. I am now signing myself up to ne apart of ‘The Ideal Family’! See you soon!!!!!

What a fun hidden gem in Cedar Rapids!! This bar and music venue is so unique, full of history and fun. The drinks are amazing! We tried 4 on the menu and all were great. The old fashioned, their most popular was great. We didn’t try the food, but I like the idea that it’s themed towards a theater with options like popcorn and pretzels. Definitely try to make this a must try while in the area. Glad we stumbled into this and decided to stop by. The only reason for the 4/5 was because the person helping us and taking our orders clearly didn’t want us there. She was rude, but ended up getting better as we were there longer. We would still go back.

An amazing find. The Cider walk brought me here, and the craft deliciousness had me take a seat. I usually stick with an Old Fashion if I’m going to have a hard beverage, though an Apple Cider Daiquiri, special to the walk, will earn a second drink. I am by no means a drink connoisseur though if you’re also just happy to try something delicious, this is a place to do it. I probably won’t be back often, though The Ideal is a place I will remember and suggest. Cheers mate!

The Ideal is a beautiful place. I was there for a happy hour. There is enough p.a. in there for a room that could hold a thousand people. Now, I'm a special type of theater nerd. I've been in a lot of extant and operating early twentieth century Midwestern theaters tooling around in the Iowa Opera House Project in the twenty-teens. I have a big warm spot for the whole type- spaces built for sound before the common use of amplification. This is one of those. I'd love to see show in this super gorgeous, high ceilinged performance space. If there was a show, and I was you, I'd go. I bet under ideal conditions the sound is a treat. 80 people could pack it. Take 79 people with you and chill. Cool cocktails. Finger food. Frenz.

The staff, including manager Anna and coordinator Brandi, are highly praised for their responsiveness, accommodation, and hard work. Whether it's for weddings, news conferences, or corporate events, the Olympic Theater impresses with its art-deco charm and first-class service.
I booked The Olympic over two years ago while it was still under construction and I finally got to get married there last weekend. It's a gorgeous space and it was so worth the wait/delay to get married there! This space provides something unique and memorable. Every wedding guest I talked to commented on how beautiful the venue was. Brandi was also wonderful to work with. She was extremely responsive and accommodating with all of my requests. The staff were all very helpful, friendly, and hardworking. The Olympic will make your big day extra special - I highly recommend using The Olympic for your wedding or any event!

The staff at the Olympic Theater are first class! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Anna, the manager. We booked The Olympic while still under renovation, because we could see Anna's vision for the space! When it was finally ready for public use, we couldn't wait to say "I do" in a stunning art-deco theater! She allowed us to visit a number of times, answered all our emails in a timely manner, hosted a couple evenings of cocktail tastings, and even had her bartender create a homemade syrup for our signature drink! <3 Unfortunately, COVID restrictions forced us to make the decision to get married in our own backyard so that we could allow for 30 instead of 15 people. But that's when Anna come to our rescue. She offered to deliver the syrup, keg we picked out, and a couple beautiful glass cake stands to our HOME in Iowa City! We cannot wait to support Anna and The Olympic at future events. BOOK YOUR EVENT HERE!
