Yesterday, the Nelson-Atkins was awarded the Best Art Museum or Gallery in Kansas City at the Visitor Choice Awards. The awards are conducted by the KC Convention and Visitors Association. The nominees are chosen by folks who live outside of Kansas City (more than 200 miles away, I believe). The Museum was also nominated for Best of Kansas City which was a great honor.
Today, we found out that we have been nominated for a Nickelodeon (yes, as in the TV channel) Parent's Pick Award. The category is Best Museum for Teens. The voting period is through June 30. Their website is still in the beta phase but as soon as I find out how to vote, I will pass it along.
