The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art


I love Monet.  He is my favorite artist.  I had seen on the news a while back that a French Impressionist Exhibition Tour was coming to Kansas City.  It was something I thought would be fun to see.

I had been going to a hair stylist for quite a while, and she recently moved to downtown Kansas City.  It's a bit of a drive with a lot of traffic during the week, so I decided to schedule an appointment with her at her new digs on a Saturday.  Looking at her new address, I realized it was located close to Nelson-Atkins, so I spent the morning at the exhibit before my appointment.  I wasn't able to take pictures in the exhibit, but took this one on my way there.  I ran out of time to see anything else in the museum, so now I'm thinking I may have to become a member to get free parking and free entrance to the exhibits and make all my hair appointments my Nelson-Atkins days!  Isn't it wonderful how life brings new things out of the mundane?  And the exhibit - it was wonderful!!!!
