Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art arose from the aspirations of two individuals who likely never met, who had vastly different lives, but who each imagined a public art museum for Kansas City and the surrounding region. Both died more than 100 years ago and neither saw the museum become a reality. Now nearly nine decades have passed since the museum opened to the public. Because of the care and support of many people through the years, the Nelson-Atkins is home to more than 45,000 works of art, with a campus that includes the original Nelson-Atkins Building, the Bloch Building expansion that opened in 2007, and the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park.

Halley Korff

For individuals who are vision-impaired or blind, here is your chance to experience art in a whole new way. Participants will enjoy a guided tactile tour, where they will get the chance to feel and experience art. After the tactile museum tour, there will be a hands-on opportunity to create a clay sculpture that we will fire in the kiln and return a few weeks following the workshop.
