Kansas City of the 1920s to 1940 brings to mind jazz, Boss Pendergast, and — museums? Three of the city’s signature museums opened during this time: the Liberty Memorial (1926), the Nelson-Atkins (1933), and the Kansas City Museum (1940).
Join John Herron, historian and Director and Chief Executive of the Kansas City Public Library, as he facilitates a virtual panel discussion of this moment in Kansas City’s history with:
Jonathan Casey, Director, Archives and Edward Jones Research Center at the National World War I Museum and Memorial
Tara Laver, Nelson-Atkins Senior Archivist
Denise Morrison, Director of Collections and Curatorial Affairs at the Kansas City Museum. This program supports the featured exhibition Origins: Collecting to Create the Nelson-Atkins.
