 Families Always Welcome! The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is a place where families can spend fun time together learning about themselves and our world through art. We have everything ready so you can maximize your creative quality time together. Before the Visit
Plan Your Family Visit Short and repetitive visits are more effective and exciting for children. It is more valuable to view and discuss a few art objects rather than trying to see all the art at once. Shorten the museum visit so your children do not get too tired or bored. Try just 30 minutes to 2 hours at a time. The Museum is free, so come often! At the Museum The following activities are available daily. Tours Browse and explore the Museum with free mobile audio guide tours. Check-out an iPod Touch or connect with your own web-enabled device. The mobile audio guide has a special Kansas City Sculpture Park Tour just for kids! Guided tours are free and available every day. Tours are offered for the Museum collection and building architecture. Visit the Information Desk or online for times and availability. Family Gallery Guides We have several Family Gallery Guides to make the trip more interactive and fun for children. Pick one up in the Bloch Lobby or print one here. Take a Break! Take a break from the galleries to have lunch in Rozzelle Court Restaurant, enjoy a picnic outside, run around in the Kansas City Sculpture Park, or sit in the Family Fun Spot and talk about what you’ve seen today. Museum Store The Museum Store has a special section for children. Engage their imaginations with puzzles, posters, books, and more. Swing by the Museum Store and have your child pick out a few of their favorite postcards. Then go on a hunt to find the art objects in the Museum. The postcards are souvenirs of their visit! After the Visit Be sure to let us know about your visit. Contact us at families@nelson-atkins.org to share your experience, ask questions and provide feedback.
