Nelson atkins museum of art is obviously located in the art district of kansas city. Even if you don't go into the museum, the area is just beautiful. It has many older homes that are so nice, and the area around the museum itself is kept up well, and there are a few pieces of "lawn" art as well.
Nelson has great yearly exhibits that are usually more for adults than children. It just isn't soemthing kids would generally be excited about.
