The museum is known for its extensive collection of Asian art, as well as paintings by well-known artists like Andy Warhol, Degas, Monet, Van Gogh and many more.
3. Arabia Steamboat Museum.This unique attraction is a unique step back into time to examine the Steamboat Arabia, which sank on the Missouri River in 1856, reported TripAdvisor.com.
