After years of planning and months of review, the Nelson-Atkins invites you to join us for the museum’s momentous next chapter.

At the Selection Celebration: A Winning Design for Building Belonging, we will unveil the winner chosen from the six finalists in our global architectural competition. Presented by an internationally recognized architectural firm, the winning design represents a vision for an expanded and more inclusive Nelson-Atkins.

Over festive refreshments, we’ll hear remarks from the project’s lead architects — why they’re excited for the project and what they envision for its future. Don’t miss this historic milestone.

KC Design Week is thrilled to collaborate with the Nelson-Atkins Museum for this exciting announcement event! KCDW and the Museum have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership since 2010.

We encourage you to visit the Museum’s exhibition of the architecture competition, open now through June 1.

Registration for this event is directly through the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and will open on March 25.
