The Nelson-Atkins is now open until 9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This Thursday, you can enjoy a brief glimpse into the world of Impressionism with a 30-minute Snapshot Talk at 6 p.m. This week, curator Ian Kennedy will discuss what was one of the Impressionists' most radical concepts, painting "en plein air" (in the open air). Be sure to visit Manet to Matisse: Impressionist Masters from the Marion and Henry Bloch Collection to see some Impressionist paintings. The Snapshot Talk will be repeated at 7 p.m.
Make it a night at the Museum! Rozzelle Court Restaurant is open for dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. or stop by the Museum Cafe for coffee and dessert. The strawberry parfait is down right addictive.
