Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, MO
The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, MO has only been open for a little over a decade but has already earned a reputation for excellence in their various collections. This venue is perfect for both Kansas City residents and visitors alike because it does not charge any admission fees to enjoy all of the exhibits.
There is a permanent contemporary collection of art donated by founders Bebe and Crosby Kemper along with a variety of temporary exhibits that come and go throughout the years. For instance, you might see a retrospective of famous photographers one month and then a touching tribute during another.
The construction of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art itself is a sight to behold. There are some interesting nooks that just beg for exploring and two extended wings of the museum resemble a flying bird, very aesthetically pleasing to the eye and a great architectural detail.
One of Kansas City's best restaurants Café Sebastienne is linked with the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and delights many patrons with its contemporary cuisine that matches the loveliness of the art. The chef is top notch and the restaurant is a perfect date spot and a great way to wrap up any casual first date.
Of course, a museum would not be worth its weight in gold without a museum shop to sell the requisite souvenirs as well as many hand crafted items like jewelry art, pottery, home accessories and textiles. Just like the museum exhibits, there is a little something for everyone in the museum shop.
If you are ever in the Kansas City, MO area, be sure to visit the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. It's a pleasant and free way to pass a few hours.
