Welcome to Kansas City Museum

We are the museum of Kansas City. We tell the stories of our City and its people through history and humanities exhibits, programs, and events. We encourage collaborative learning about the City’s past, present, and future. Every day, we illuminate a shared humanity, inspire creative action, and aim to deliver a transformational civic impact. Join us!
