Just in case you find yourself in Kansas City be sure to visit the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. (or it's worth planning a trip around) I stopped on my way through Kansas City and I'm glad I did.

Of particular interest over the years to come is the Hallmark Photography Collection that the museum acquired last year. The new wing, (the Bloch Building) which opened just a couple of months ago is spectacular. As nice a gallery venue as I've seen.
A current exhibition is "Developing Greatness: The Origins of American Photography, 1839 to 1885" showing June 9 – December 30, 2007. Wonderful early photographs extremely well displayed and lit.
And there's plenty more to see - its a great way to spend a day.
