Making A Museum KC (#MakingAMuseumKC) is the name of the Kansas City Museum’s multi-year, multi-staged capital campaign (started in 2016) to secure funding for the restoration and renovation of the entire historic property and museum campus. Corinthian Hall, the 34,000 square-foot former mansion, was reopened to the public in October 2021, after several years of architectural design by International Architects Atelier (IAA), exhibit design by Gallagher & Associates, construction by JE Dunn Construction, and exhibit fabrication and installation by Kubik Maltbie.
Currently, the Museum is actively working with IAA on architectural design to restore and renovate the remaining historic buildings and structures on the property including the Carriage House, Lodge (former Horse Trainer’s Home), Carpenter’s Shed, Pergola, Perimeter Fence and Gates, and Conservatory, which will become JewelHouse. The Museum is also working with IAA on the design of new experiences on the grounds including a James Turrell Skyspace.
Please check back here for updates about the progress and to make contributions.
At this time, you may make a contribution to JewelHouse online (click the Make a Contribution button below) for any amount up to $10,000. If you are interested in giving levels and benefits at $25,000 and above, please contact Director & CEO Anna Marie Tutera at atutera@kansascitymuseum.org.
