If The Nelson-Atkins Museum Is The Only Kansas City Museum That Comes To Mind, Think Again

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

The Nelson Atkins Museum has celebrated 75 years and it’s understandable if that’s what comes to mind when you think about Kansas City museums. But the Kansas City area has many more museums to offer, so allow me to broaden our horizons.  When I started putting this list together I jotted down five museums I knew I’d visited. In putting together the list, there were a few others I’d visited as a child but had been forgotten. There were a half-dozen or so others that I was aware of but I’d never visited. But the list didn’t stop there and, to my surprise, there were another 15 to 20 museums that I had no idea made Kansas City their home. So, the next weekend you can’t find anything fun to do, spend an afternoon checking out one of the following local museums…
