Which style/period appeals to you most? Why? Which particular work of art did you like best? Why were you drawn to this particular work? How did the surroundings/setting of the museum and display of the art affect your experience?

The Nelson Atkins in Kansas City is a world class art museum, with a truly wonderful collection spanning all time periods and genres. My personal favorite is the Caravaggio (one of only 7 in the States) and the Impressionist/Post Impressionist collection. The Egyptian collection is stunning as well. Admission is free, however special exhibits may cost, seeing them would be your choice.
