Front Lawn of Nelson-Atkins Museum
This is my favorite art museum as it has become a world renowned art museum, because of its collections. What started as a dream by William Rockhill Nelson and Mary Atkins has became a true reality. However, the two had left their estates to form separate art museums, but the trustees decided to join the two estates to form the museum we know today. The museum collection began in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Nelson was a Newspaperman in Kansas City and Atkins was a widowed schoolteacher.

The museum has excellent collections on display all the time. They have a fantastic collection of Contemporary and African art. Each Gallery exemplifies artwork from various artists from assorted periods. Their collections open up a new perspective for first time art museum patrons and give you a greater appreciation for the arts. I absolutely recommend this museum to anyone interested in viewing assorted art collections. It is not long after you begin your visit at this amazing museum, you realized why their collections are so world renowned. I enjoy every visit I make to Kansas City at the Nelson-Atkins Museum.
