What travelers say:

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.
