For the Chinese, the most worth visiting place in Kansas City is undoubtedly this museum. There are many museums in the United States that collect Chinese cultural relics. If the Metropolis ranks first, I think the second is this museum. Photos are the murals of Cisheng Temple in Henan, Wangding in Xizhou, and Guangsheng Temple in Shanxi (opposite one in the main hall of the Metropolis); Liao Shuiyue Guanyin; Bodhisattva statue in Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, Liao Cai Plastic Luohan; Liao Dynasty Lotus Zun; Tang Sancai Polo Maid; Beijing Zhihua Temple algae well (one in the original site to transfer to the Tibetan Palace, one in the Philadelphia Museum of Art); the Warring States era Jade Pei; Longmen Binyangdong Northern Wei Dynasty Queen's Buddha Recital (opposite the emperor's Buddha Recital in the Metropolis). Each piece is the treasure of the boutique town hall, and the furniture paintings are also boutique.

    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!
