Come to Kansas for a business trip, there is no tourism resources in the middle... But I didn't expect such a powerful museum! The museum houses more than 7,000 Chinese cultural relics, mostly purchased during the Great Depression... The Chinese Temple Museum has a picture of the Shengguang Jingchang that occupies a whole wall, and the Yuan Dynasty murals from Guangsheng Temple in Shanxi, the algae well ceiling of Zhihua Temple in Beijing, and the stone carvings of Longyang Grottoes. Liao Dynasty Guanyin statue... To be honest, it is very distressing to see so many of the treasures of your country lose overseas, especially such a sparsely populated city, and there are few people to see! But all the cultural relics are well protected... It can't be said that it is a bad thing from the perspective of the inheritance of human civilization! The museum also often holds special exhibitions, and the location is excellent... It coincides with someone holding a wedding inside, and the layout is very beautiful!

    The William Rockhill Nelson Museum of Art, located in Kansas City, Missouri, broke ground in 1930 and opened for the first time in 1933, making it one of the largest art museums in the Midwest. Because it was during the Great Depression, the global art market sprung up with a large number of low-priced and precious artworks, and few buyers, the museum acquired a large number of artworks in a short period of time, laying its place in the art museum. The Nelson Museum of Art's collection is divided into Asian, European, American and other collections. Among them, the Asian Department mainly collects and displays artworks from China, Japan, South Korea, India, Iran and Southeast Asian countries. Its heavyweight Chinese paintings mainly include Dong Qichang's "Antique Landscape Book Page", Li Cheng's "Qingwen Xiao Temple Map", Ma Yuan's "Xiyuan Yaji Map", Shi Tao's "gift of Liu Shishi Shanshui Book Page", Xu Daoning's "Qiujiang Fishing Boat Map (Fishing Boat Singing Night Map)", Zhao Yu (Song Huizong)'s "Four Poultry Map", etc. European paintings mainly include Caravaggio, Greco, Tixiang, Rembrandt, Rubens, Claude Monet, Works by Vincent van Gogh. It is a display of Native American art.

    I thought that the small Kansas City Museum, at most, was just a few famous characters, but did not expect its collection to be rich, including the modern European masterpieces, Picasso, Monet, Gaugin works are also many; the Asian museum is even more clean! In addition to the collection of calligraphy and paintings of everyone in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are objects as far away as the merchants, Zhou, and Han Dynasty. What's more interesting is that the museum is also open to the public, hosting commercial activities such as wine fairs, and I am fortunate to meet the mayor of Kansas City!
