Looking for unique artwork to spruce up your space? Want a new avenue to sell your mini masterpieces?

Check out the Museum of Art and Archaeology, home to Missouri’s only Art-o-Mat, a vintage cigarette vending machine that’s been converted into an art dispenser. For $5, visitors can purchase a special token to insert in the Art-o-mat. Spanning a range of mediums, each selection is one-of-a-kind and supports the artists whose works are featured in the machine.

“We are really leaning into making a visit to the museum fun, with moments of discovery throughout, in the galleries, our Museum Store, and with additions like the Art-o-mat,” said Marie Nau Hunter, deputy director of the Museum of Art and Archaeology, who coordinated efforts to bring the machine to Mizzou.
