The Nelson-Atkins Art Museum was founded in 1930 and officially opened to the public in 1933. A large number of Asian art works and neoclassical buildings are collected in the museum, which has established its position in the art museum. The entire museum is an organic combination of new and old museums. The new building was once rated as the number one neo-modernist building in the world by Time magazine, so its building itself also has high ornamental value. The museum also houses many Chinese collections, such as two pieces of sarcophagus bed parts from the Northern and Southern Dynasties and a large fresco of a flaming Buddha, all of which are very precious.
