There's something for everyone at Paris Gibson Square! "The Square" as we are affectionately known to area residents is located inside one of Great Falls' oldest and most beloved landmarks - the historic Paris Gibson Square. The magnificent sandstone structure was completed in 1896 and served as a public school until 1975. Re-opened in 1977 as a cultural center the building is home to a remarkable contemporary art museum with dynamic changing and permanent exhibitions. Enjoy the unique figure sculptures by a Montana original - Lee Steen, explore the changing exhibition galleries or stroll through our beautifully landscaped grounds and sculpture garden. The Square also offers a vibrant education department that includes guided tours, classes and workshops for all ages and abilities. Group tours available by appointment.

Admission is free courtesy of Farmer's Union Insurance - another Montana original!
