We are going to see the new exhibit at the Nelson Atkins today. On the way we of course needed to pick up one brown sign.
This is William Rockhill Nelson.
His house was once where the museum is now located.
He had a hand in developing most of this area.
On the back side is his eulogy, Citizen.
I have been here so many times but I have never seen this marker before.
Down the street is this beauty.
4520 Kenwood Ave
It was built for Laura Nelson, daughter of William Rockhill Nelson.
Later it became The Rockhill Tennis Club.
Several past presidents have stayed here.
It's also for sale.
$1,547,775 and the price has been dropped $50K
7 bed and 8.5 bath, 12000 sq ft
Just in case anyone is in the market for a mansion.
Across the street at the museum at the exhibit, Survival of the Fittest
This is the favorite for the day.
Etched glass.
He was the second place favorite.
This painting looked like a picture.
The entire exhibit is of animals. I liked it a lot.
I also finished my Field Guide and received a patch.
I plan on tracking all of the fountains I find this year.
These are inside the museum and the artist is Isamu Noguchi.
The lawn looked so beautiful.
Last thing for the day -
I have never really paid attention to this.
It's the Mississippi River.
That's it for today. Until tomorrow.
