The Kansas City Museum is a wonderful museum which tells regional and local stories of history. It covers many areas of history and therefore is great for people of varying interests.

Socially conscious city museums are rare and KCM is one, they are working hard to tell our citys history in a compelling and inclusive way.

This place was really special in the 90s. The back building with the giant taxidermied animals was terrifying to any KC child. The downstairs old fashioned soda fountain had the best root beer floats. I am excited to see what they do with the place once renovations are finished.

Day of the Dead was a beautiful event so well organized by the KC museum. There was great food and nice Mexican hot chocolate and aguas frescas. The vendors had fun and original art and the performers and altar were lovely!

Saw a live jazz band right on the porch of the kc museum during sunset hour. Took a stroll around the place and was amazed by the scenery. What beautiful building!

I’ve loved this place since I was a kid! There were trains in the basement, an ice cream shop, and the planetarium. Nothing but great memories coming here with my Granny & Poppy. Well kept place presently as well.

The museum is currently closed for renovations, but is still a great place to visit and view. The house is beautiful. The mansion was originally built in 1910 by R.A. Long, which also brought KC Longview Farm. The museum house a lot of items pertaining to the history of Kansas City.

Definitely worth a trip. Despite being shut down for renovations currently, its still mesmerizing walking the perimeter. The surrounding neighborhood is gorgeous and the informational stand surrounding the museum give great information!

A hidden gem! This place is an old mansion thats was built by one of Kansas Citys millionaires over a century ago. It used to be a museum for Kansas City history, but is in the process of being restored back to its original condition. If you go, definitely take the tour so you learn all the history of R. A. Long and the building itself. The views of downtown from here are stunning and the surrounding buildings are beautiful as well. Plus its all FREE.

While the museum is in the process of being restored, theres not much to see. It will shut down April 2017 until 2019 for renovations. Great history though, and I hope to come back when its done!

Its under renovation. Coming spring nobody can access the main building for two years, artifacts are all caved and some are archived in union station. You can watch a 30 minitues video on Longs life, the man that built this building and his achievements.

Got a boring tour of an empty building. Should be closed for renovation.Part of the tour was the renovation plan. They want to make an art gallery with the feel of a early 20th century masion. Great idea if it was downtown, but who will travel to this location to play a game of pool and look at art?Dont wast your time.
