The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is an art museum on Oak Street in Kansas City, opened in 1933 in a neoclassical building designed by Wight and Wight. Steven Holl's glass-walled Bloch Building was added on its east side in 2007. The collection covers art from many cultures and periods, with a large Asian section, and the grounds hold a sculpture park.
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures is a museum on Oak Street in Kansas City, on the University of Missouri–Kansas City campus. It opened in 1982 in a 1911 house, combining Mary Harris Francis's antique toys with Barbara Hall Marshall's fine-scale miniatures, and its collection now holds more than 100,000 objects.
The National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City was dedicated in 1926 as the Liberty Memorial, a 217-foot tower by Harold Van Buren Magonigle. The museum below it, reopened and enlarged in 2006, covers the First World War from its causes to the 1919 peace conference; visitors enter across a glass bridge over a field of 9,000 poppies.
The Arabia Steamboat Museum in Kansas City's River Market shows the cargo of the Arabia, a steamboat that hit a snag and sank in the Missouri River in 1856. The wreck was dug out of a Kansas cornfield in 1988–89, and the museum, opened in 1991, displays tools, dishes and clothing, the boat's stern and a lab where finds are cleaned.
