The Nelson is located just off of the Plaza. This would be a good way to spend an afternoon -- walking around looking at all the art the museum has -- and finishing up with a stroll and dinner at a great restuarant on the Plaza!

The Nelson Atkins is home to a large collection of classic artwork. Also worth seeing is the new Bloch building, the museum's all-glass addition.

We thought about having our reception here as it is a fantastic museum. If you get a chance during the weekend or you happen to come in early; it is very much worth the visit. Free admission but $5 for parking.

Okay you don’t have to look at all 28,000 pieces, but you can enjoy many of them in a visit. While you are there visit the gods of ancient Egypt and survey the magnificence of Claude Monet’s vast Water Lilies. Oh, and don’t forget your badminton racket!

This museum focuses on modern and contemporary art.

Broad collection of art, including Asian.
