The Crisp Museum collects in three thematic areas: archaeology, history, and fine art.
Archaeology Collections
The museum displays a collection of prehistoric Native American artifacts of tribes that resided in the Southeast Missouri region hundreds and even thousands of years ago. Some artifacts in this collection are considered to be more than 15,000 years old.
Historical Collection
The historical collection contains more recent historical pieces. Much of the collection is comprised of firearms, tools, and artifacts from midwestern river history.
Fine Arts Collection
Our fine arts collection displays a diverse selection of historical and modern art. Explore our collection in person or view a few of our paintings online.
