3. Cedar Rapids Museum of Art

DOWNTOWN.   This museum is best known for having the world's largest collection of art by Grant Wood, Iowa's native son who painted "American Gothic." In fact, the museum owns and operates Wood's studio in downtown Cedar Rapids (at 5 Turner Alley). CRMA's eight-gallery permanent collection features Roman portrait busts, sculpture by Malvina Hoffman, Regionalist art from the 20th century and multimedia works and photos by Iowa artists. Since all 5,000 items can't be accommodated at one time, the museum rotates its holdings regularly. The museum store carries a wonderful selection of ceramics, stationery, jewelry, hand-crafted wooden toys and decorative glass items.   (© 10Best)
