Our permanent exhibition of works by George Caleb Bingham includes the monumental 1869/70 Civil War painting, Gen. Order No. 11, which represents the execution of a military directive evacuating civilians in four Missouri border counties. The evacuation order that took place in the midst of Missouri/Kansas guerilla fighting in 1863. Also on display is the Bingham painting Watching the Cargo, a classic example of the artist's genre images representing the Missouri workers involved in river commerce. Finally a number of Bingham portraits are also exhibited.
