Nelson Atkins Museum of Art


  

The original neo classical structure of the main building, completed in 1933. It is situated in 22 acres of ground in Kansas City, Missouri.



The shuttlecocks are found at the front of the building and on the lawn to the front of building.  They are striking.



The totem pole by two North American Indians.  The raven holds the symbol of Kansas City in its claws.




The majestic central hall rising to 40 feet high, with skylights bathing the interior with natural day light.


The Bloch Building that opened in 2007.  Its sleek lines add a contemporary feel to the museum complex.
