Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library

This is a great museum. It has many artifacts from Kurt Vonnegut's life and work. But that's not all. There is a focus on the things that mattered to him: freedom of expression, local jazz and being a decent human. There is a small concession area that serves snacks and drinks, including some alcohol (after noon for that) as well as a beautiful balcony with views of downtown. Patrons can even rent books. Each time I go I am delighted by something I didn't notice the time before. They offer multiple educational activities and are activists in the fight against censorship. It is also part of N.A.R.M. (North American reciprocal Museum) program. What else could you ask for? Yes there is a small gift shop too.

The genius Kurt Vonnegut!! Being a big fan, I took the opportunity to check out the museum. I enjoyed it! It’s three levels of a building, so there’s a lot to see. The ticket price was fair. The staff were friendly. If you’re a fan I would definitely recommend checking it out!

What a wonderful tribute to one of the best authors that ever lived. Many times I was moved to tears in this, not just from excitement but from the stories shared within the exhibits. Each floor was exciting and new, offering different insight into KV’s life. Lots of awesome items on display, such as his personal typewriter and numerous copies of Cats Cradle in different languages. The gift shop had the best gifts for any KV fan and even some books you don’t see very often. The young woman in the gift shop was super friendly and made our visit seamless. I will absolutely be back! Loved this place!

Loved them museum. Such a nice tribute to one of our country’s best authors. The gift shop had a lot of his books some of which you don’t see as often. They also have a coffee shop and a great balcony to sit and enjoy a nice day. I would stop back again.

I had the pleasure of visiting in July, and this turned out to be the highlight of my summer! I highly recommend that all Vonnegut fans go out of their way to include this stop in their travels, as it is a true gem. Their collection of artifacts is amazing, and the staff are knowledgeable and extremely kind. My personal favorite part was getting to actually sit at Kurt's desk and type on one of his typewriters. What a treat! Thank you, Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library for going above and beyond to offer a wonderful experience. You're doing important work 🙂

The perfect stop for any true Vonnegut fan. The slaughterhouse five exhibit on the third floor is worth the visit alone. It's a miracle he survived. God must have had a plan for him to write those great works....

Stopped in for a quick visit today to avoid the rain and would have loved to curl up there with a book. There’s lots of spots to sit and read & write, a cocktail bar, a gift shop, and of course the history of Vonnegut’s life and works. The displays are modern and interesting. There’s a small parking lot, clean restrooms, and an elevator.
