"Let us know peace. For as long as the moon shall rise, For as long as the rivers shall flow, For as long as the sun will shine, For as long as the grass shall grow, Let us know peace." ~Cheyenne

Great things at the Nelson this weekend

 

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.
