Great things at the Nelson this weekend

 
Posted by Picasa
This weekend, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (sounds stuffy, doesn't it?) is having an open house to celebrate the reopening of their American Indian Gallery.

I tell you, the things they're doing over there are just terrific. As I've said before, we're very lucky to have the Nelson here in town.

They redid the American Gallery (sounds like a competition--the "American Gallery" vs. the "American Indian Gallery") and the improvements were clear, obvious and wonderful.

I really look forward to this new change, this weekend. They don't seem to miss a mark when they improve over there.

And soon, next Spring, they are to reopen the Egyptian Gallery. That should brighten a grey and brown Kansas City winter, just when we need it.

So, this weekend, make sure you make it by the Nelson for the American Indian galleries Community Celebration Weekend.

While you're at it, don't forget having lunch or dinner at the Rozzelle Court--yet another way to enjoy the day at this local treasure.

Again--you may thank me later.

Hard to believe the American Gallery didn't steal the land devoted to the American Indian Gallery.

Have you seen the exhibit? Would love to check it out? Any suggestions?

The exhibit opened Wednesday and no, I haven't been to see it yet.

Suggestions, however--if you like groups and energy/activity, whatever you want to call it, they're going to have native Americans there tomorrow and Sunday, doing different exhibitions so that should add to it.

If you like smaller crowds, wait one week and go the following weekend so less people are there.

Food for thought.
