This Saturday, March 11-12, 2017, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is celebrating the grand opening of the new Bloch Galleries. Admission is free. Timed tickets are required.
Here’s a brief description of the new Bloch Galleries:
In June of 2015, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art welcomed into its collection 29 masterworks by the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists of the 19th century. The Marion and Henry Bloch Collection, created over many years, inspired a major renovation of the museum’s European 19th- and early-20th-century galleries. The new Bloch Galleries will offer visitors an immersive experience, with the Bloch Collection masterpieces integrated into the museum’s other collections.
French pastries will be served during the grand opening, while supplies last.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is located at 4525 Oak Street in Kansas City,Missouri.
