Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery

The Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery gives Lindsborg an art institution with a permanent subject and a changing program. Opened in 1957 on the Bethany College campus, it presents Sandzén’s work throughout the year alongside selections from its collection and temporary exhibitions. It is a useful starting point for visitors who want to understand why art occupies such a prominent place in this small Kansas town.

The exhibition calendar broadens the visit beyond a single artist. In autumn 2026, Look At Us Now runs through October 18 and brings together self-portraits by more than 140 artists. Its emphasis on how artists represent themselves provides a different line of inquiry from the gallery’s continuing presentation of Sandzén. Checking the exhibition dates before traveling helps visitors choose a program that matches their interests.

Regular opening is Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Sunday hours from 1 to 5 p.m.; the gallery closes on Mondays and specified holidays. Organized groups seeking a docent tour are asked to give advance notice, preferably two weeks. Visits to the artist’s studio have limited arrangements for small groups and should be discussed directly with staff. The main gallery remains the reliable focus of an independently planned visit, while any additional access requires a separate conversation.
