Clymer permanent collection and memorabilia are on display in the museum & gallery and six changing exhibits per year are featured.

The Clymer Museum endeavors to provide a venue for new and emerging artists, as well as creating exhibits of interest to the community at large. Many of our exhibits feature local artists, and often the artwork is available for purchase.

In conjunction with each exhibit the museum provides an opening reception where visitors have the opportunity to meet, discuss art and converse with the artists. Throughout the year the museum also provides a variety of guest speakers, special events, and artist demonstrations to their patrons.

The museum opened in 1991 to honor John Ford Clymer, who was born and raised in Ellensburg.
