A must see for all art enthusiasts
Visited the week before Thanksgiving. I was surprised that the museum was free, but they did accept donations. I was impressed by the wide variety of art from all continents. The museum was larger than I thought and I was there for 5 hours, but then I like to read most of the exhibits on display. I didn't park there as the museum was a short walk from my hotel at the Embassy Suites. The museum also had a cafe where I got a coffee and some snacks during a break. The museums exhibits included extensive art work, artifacts and statues covering multiple centuries of work. There were also several sculptures and works of art on the grounds for touring outside. If you are in KC, consider spending several hours at this museum because you won't be disappointed.

A wonderful art museum in a charming city.
We only had time to see the Thomas Hart Benton paintings but we could see how extensive the collection was. I never imagined such a collection in Kansas City. If I had an opportunity to return I would plan to spend the day. The museum is free but parking in the underground garage, which is very convenient, is $12.00
