Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Kansas City, Missouri
May 15 – 17th 2024
CONFERENCE REGISTRATION CLOSED
“Looking Back/Moving Forward”As we enter the mid-2020s, we would like to look at how our profession has changed after tumultuous start of the decade, and how we are planning for the future. While our last convention in 2022 looked at the adaptation in our industry propelled by the events of 2020, this year we focus on how those changes have become no longer reactive, but the new way of doing things.
Our museum tours include the National WWI Museum and Memorial; the National Museum of Toys & Miniatures; and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art offsite storage facility located in a repurposed salt mine. Check out the scale model of the Nelson-Atkins galleries at the T&M Museum and get a short presentation from the staff on building miniatures. You can read more about the model here. The World War I museum has exhibited collections as well as an open storage area for the public to view.
