Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is a workmanship historical center in Kansas City, Missouri, known for its neoclassical design and broad accumulation of Asian craftsmanship. In 2007, Time magazine positioned the historical center's new Bloch Building number one on its rundown of "The 10 Best New and Upcoming Architectural Marvels" which considered applicants from around the globe.

The exhibition hall was based on the grounds of Oak Hall, the home of Kansas City Star distributer William Rockhill Nelson. When he kicked the bucket in 1915, his will gave that upon the passings of his significant other and little girl, the returns of his whole home would go to buying work of art for open delight. This endowment was enlarged by extra subsidizes from the homes of Nelson's little girl, child in-law and lawyer.
