The American Royal, one of the nation's largest livestock, horse shows and rodeos, thrills both exhibitors and spectators with competition, live entertainment and hearty western spirit.

The Nelson: A World-renowned Collection

The Nelson-Akins Museum of Art offers visitors much to think about. Photo by Steve Schaefer.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, located three blocks east of the famous Country Club Plaza, features extensive collections from nearly every culture and period of the world. Considered one of the most distinguished museums in the nation, the Nelson Gallery is most widely known for its internationally renowned collection of Oriental art.
Michelangelo's "Saint John The Baptist," one of only seven original works by the artist in the United States, and "Boulevard Des Capuches, Paris" by Claude Monet are considered the museum's most valuable pieces. These magnificent works attract visitors from all over the globe.
The Henry Moore Sculpture
Garden is a display of 12 large bronze sculptures located on the museum's south lawn. The museum was founded in 1933 by William Rockhill Nelson, proprietor of the Kansas City Star. The collection was endowed by his fortune, and contributions by the estate of Mary Atkins helped the Nelson family construct the building of neoclassical style.
Through September 22 the museum is presenting works by George N. Barnard, photographer of Sherman's Civil War Campaign. The exhibition features original photographs from Barnard's influential career as a photographer of Union Army battles.
