Kauffman Museum’s annual Kansas Day celebration this year has some opportunities for in-person engagement along with virtual options.

The celebration itself is Jan. 30, but families who want to participate in “Kansas Day in a Box” need to order by Jan. 20, at https://kauffmanmuseum.org/product/kansas-day-craft-kit/

The Kauffman Museum board of directors has appointed longtime employee Andi Schmidt Andres as museum director. 

She had been serving as acting director since Jan. 28, following the resignation of Michael Reinschmidt.

Andres began working at the museum in 1993. She has held the positions of assistant to the director, education coordinator, curator of education, transitional operations manager and, most recently, acting director.
