Since its opening in the Fall of 1994, over the last two decades the Kemper Museum has become one of the most respected galleries in the region. The permanent collection donated by Bebe and Crosby Kemper features contemporary artwork and some of the artists include the famous glassblower Dale Chihuly, Georgia O'Keefe, Andrew Wyeth and Robert Mapplethorpe, just to name a few. Some temporary exhibits have featured a complete retrospective by fashion photographer, Herb Ritts and a moving AIDS tribute by Robert Juarez. The building merits attention also, it has plenty of nooks and crannies that are interspersed alongside two elongated wings, which makes the structure appear like a bird in flight.

Very friendly docent. They only had two small galleries open, so we weren’t there long, but what they had was very nice! Also it was free!
MoreIt's a beautiful museum. It's too bad the staff can't deign to say hello or even make eye contact once in a while. It's almost as if they find speaking to a patron beneath them. I don't expect everyone to crowd around me and greet me, but nor do I like feeling as if I was just a bother to them.
MoreVery small museum. Good thing is for free. It’s in a great space where other museums are located. Good to go see, but not a main one to visit. Loved that it was free.
MoreSmall museum but lovely art. Free to enter and park. Great gift shop. Didn’t eat in the café but the walls were adorable. Worth a stop.
MoreWas recently in Kansas City and stopped by the Kemper Museum. The collection was nice with some very interesting modern art, but the place is much smaller than I expected. I was in and our in under 30 minutes.
