Friday Featured Art: Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives

When we were in Kansas City we saw Frederic Church's Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives at the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum.  It's a lovely painting, and we enjoyed seeing it after visiting Church's home Olana last summer.

Friday Featured Art: Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

When we were in Missouri a week ago, we visited the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.  We had only been there once before and just remembered that it was a small museum with some nice Asian art.  So we were pleasantly surprised to discover that they have a really great collection.  I'll have to share some pieces in the coming weeks, but many of you may already know some of their most famous works - the huge shuttlecocks that adorn the lawn.
