Things to do in Kansas City

• Kansas City Museum
  The Kansas City Museum is located in the Corinthian Hall in the historic northeast neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri and is also called the R. A. Long House. The prestigious museum sits on 3 prime acres that contain the Corinthian Hall, all the outbuildings, the majority having been restored and now house numerous exhibits that pertain to the local history and natural sciences, a 1910 soda fountain replica that serves ice cream and phosphates and a 50 seat planetarium. The magnificent mansion was named as it is because of the six Corinthian columns that grace the front, and might have been the reason that it was called the "Palace on Gladstone Boulevard". It was constructed in 1908 by Robert A. Long and designed by Henry Hoit, an architect of the firm, Hoit, Price and Barnes, and is done in the beaux arts style that was popular during that era. The gorgeous 25,000 square foot house was the home of the Long family until Robert passed away in 1934, and was later donated to the city by his daughters in 1939. It opened for tours in 1940. When the estate was a residence, it held a spectacular treasure in the multitude of closets and rooms that were stuffed with antique furniture, tapestries and paintings. It wasn't constructed to be conducive for a museum, therefore, a large amount of renovation was needed to bring it up to par. The smaller rooms would be combined to make bigger ones so that they could hold the wonderful exhibits and displays that are shown here.

•  Thomas Hart Benton Home and Studio State Historic Site
  Thomas Hart Benton's life can be seen reflected in his paintings and his house on Belleview Street in Kansas City, Missouri. He was a famous sculptor, writer, lecturer and painter that had a marvelous gift for interpreting life in his own unique way that has inspired others. One of his most famous murals is seen at the House Lounge in the state capitol and is called, "A Social History of the State of Missouri. Thomas was born in Neosho, Missouri in 1889 and moved to Kansas City in 1935, after he had received instruction in the arts in Paris and Chicago, as well as serving the navy for a short time and teaching in New York City. The two and a half story, late Victorian house was built of native quarried limestone and inside are the simple furnishings that he enjoyed, although the neutral colors of the furniture would be quite a contrast to the magnificent paintings that he created. Many of his paintings and sculptures are still found in the house. Thomas transformed half of his carriage house into a studio, that stands as he left it, with coffee cans stuffed with brushes, stretched canvas ready to do his bidding and many paints. Thomas passed away, working in his studio in 1975, doing what he loved to do, paint American scenes. The site was started in 1977 and tours are available to visit the house of this master painter. When he was 17, he started attending classes at the Art Institute of Chicago, hoping to become a newspaper cartoonist, but instead found a love and desire for painting. He went to Paris to fine tune his talents and discover his niche, but had to return when his money was running low. He came back to New York to struggle as an artist trying to make ends meet; and in 1918, entered the navy. He was sent to Norfolk, Virginia and his duties involved making sketches and drawings of the things around the base, like the ships and other equipment. With plenty of free time on his hands, it wasn't long before he was doing the same for himself. He would head back to New York, showing many of his works and getting some attention. In 1922, he married Rita Piacenza, while teaching art classes for a neighborhood association, where she had been a student. They would have a son, Thomas Piacenza or P.T. for short in 1926, and Rita became his manager and a wonderful force behind his work and success. In 1935, he was offered a mural commission and teaching position in Missouri; with the mural to be entitled, "The Social History of Missouri". He would be teaching at the Kansas City Art Institute and with his growing dislike of the art scene in New York, he took it and left. In 1939, they moved into this house and sometime later in the same year had a daughter, Jessie. They continued to live here and raise their children and produce many great works of art. He had finished his dinner and told Rita he was going to his studio to look over his work and while there had a heart attack and passed away. He was 85. Rita, taking the loss hard, after their lives together for 53 years, soon left this life to join him just 10 weeks later.

• American Jazz Museum
  As mentioned above, when speaking about the Negro Leagues Baseball museum, it is housed in the same building as the American Jazz Museum that preserves the history of American music that is called and known as jazz. It showcases exhibits about Duke Ellington, Louise Armstrong, Charlie Parker and others that brought this amazing sound to the forefront of the music scene many decades ago. Charlie Parker's saxophone is on display, along with numerous Down Beat awards, and the Blue Room is a completely functional jazz club and the Gem Theater across the street is a much bigger venue of the famous style of music. It took about ten years of planning to get the jazz museum to become a reality, but with the help of Congressman and former Kansas City mayor Emanuel Cleaver II and the city of Kansas City, both the jazz museum and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum opened in September of 1997. Since that simple opening, the jazz museum has hosted thousands of world-class jazz performances in the Blue Room and the Gem Theater across the street. It has shown many dozens of outstanding exhibits in the Changing Gallery and given a huge amount of classes and educational programs to the community and acquired a special artifact and film collection. They have jazz story telling, jazz listening parties, jazz poetry jams, stories from the vine, swing time and workshops and master classes available to everyone in the community. The John Baker Film Collection took another ten years to collate, inspect, restore and digitize the wonderful 16 mm and 35 mm film that is now ready for visitors to watch and enjoy as another venue that is offered by the museum.
