The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Arts
Exhibition Ongoing
Discover the Museum's European collection in a whole new way. More than twenty galleries in the Museum's East Wing, including period rooms from 18th-century France, Italy and England, have been completed redesigned and reinstalled.
A key innovation in the new "360-degree view" of the Nelson-Atkins' European collection is the integration of decorative arts into the gallery display. Silver, furniture and jewelry are featured as well as paintings and sculpture, posing intriguing connections and counterpoints.
Except for a handful of permanently installed stained-glass windows, no work on the first floor of the Nelson-Atkins is located in the same place under the new plan.
The transformation of East Wing spaces first installed in the 1930s and '40s is the first in 25 years, when the popular Impressionist painting galleries got a colorful makeover. Viewers will experience the Museum more fully as they encounter art in a way that emphasizes the relationships among works of art.
