consistently good This is a great little museum. It's easy to see everything in a couple hours or less. The rotating exhibits are consistently top-notch, and often playful and challenging. Openings are well attended but mellow affairs and a nice change of pace from the chaotic gallery scene in the crossroads district of Kansas City. And admission is always free! The Kemper also has a very good restaurant on premises. Located just down the street from the huge Nelson-Atkins Museum and near the Kansas City Art Institute, this is a great way to round out a day of art-viewing in midtown Kansas City. by bilevader on Mon, 06/02/2008 - 03:26
