`- The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is the crown jewel of Kansas City and one of the finest museums in America. Its encyclopaedic collection offers visitors a look at some of the greatest artistic achievements of mankind, representing cultures from around the world, from ancient to contemporary times. Among its treasures are the exquisite 11th/12th-century Seated Gaunyin Bodhisattva, Caravaggio’s Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness, Monet’s Water Liliesand de Kooning’s Woman IV. The construction of the Bloch Building represents one part of a total transformation of the Nelson-Atkins. The design by architect Steven Holl Architects is considered an exceptional solution to the challenge of how to expand the neoclassical Nelson-Atkins. The fusing of art, architecture and the surrounding landscape may be unique in the western world.`
