Museum Recovery Fund

These are unprecedented days in our world. Due to the pandemic, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art was closed to the public from March 14, 2020 to September 12, 2020. Because of this setback, we are doing everything we can to reduce our budget—cancelling larger exhibitions, programs, classes, and tours through April 2021. Despite these sacrifices, we need critical support to ensure the museum’s vibrant future.

COVID-19 has affected each of us in profound ways, and we all see great need around us. If your circumstances allow, please consider supporting your museum. Each donation, whatever the amount, helps underscore the importance of art and expression during these difficult times.

Your investment in this fund secures our greatest assets: our dedicated staff, our world-renowned art collection, and our beautiful grounds. Help us honor our commitment to Kansas City while we work harder than ever to be a source of solace and inspiration.
