The Museum at Prairiefire is a museum in Overland Park, Kansas. The museum is a 42,000 square foot facility that opened in May 2014 and has received honors for its architecture style.[1] The museum carries displays created by other museums, such as American Museum of Natural History.[2] Prairiefire secured a partnership with the American Museum of Natural History and displayed two main traveling exhibits annually[3] that lasted until 2018.[4] When this partnership expired, plans were made to convert the traveling exhibit space into a permanent exhibit named "Kansas Revealed", though this has been repeatedly delayed. In 2024, Prairiefire announced a partnership with the National College Baseball Hall of Fame to open a permanent space at the museum.[5]
