La'Trice MurrayJanuary 9, 2015From looking at exibits, to sitting on the grass for lunch!! Wonderful for the whole family!!
Gorgeous place. Be sure to stop in Rozelle Court for lunch. And it's a great consideration for a wedding reception venue.

My ultimate place to go. I've been there many times and still can't get enough.
Ionic columns are so pretty on the old building. Very inspiring.
The museum gift shop is a fantastic place for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts!- Jill V.W.March 16, 2011Newbies get a free pack of museum note cards at the info desk. And the mobile guide tour (for iPhone and Android) is terrific (audio and text).

Bob LaytonFebruary 24, 2014I was very impressed, only had time for a portion of the building. Will go back for sure when I visit again
They are installing a new steel tree sculpture by Roxy Paine in the lawn today. It's a beautiful day to play in the grass and watch them install it.
OOOOOOOHHHH look at you- being cultured today I see? But really- this is a "best of" on the Kansas City list. Although I prefer the art in the Kemper :)

Come to the Young Friends of Art's happy hour the second Friday of every month.
