I had a most enjoyable time today strolling through the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park at the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City. Modern sculpture under blue skies = a most lovely way to spend an hour or so.
There are a quite a number of Henry Spencer Moore pieces here. Sigh.
My favorite part of the experience was watching this little girl run up and TOUCH a sculpture despite the fact that it reads "please do not touch the sculpture" on the bottom of every sign that explains each piece. She couldn't help it.
My second favorite part of the experience was that when we got back to my car both of our purses were still in the trunk despite the fact that I had somehow managed to leave the trunk open after we placed our purses in the trunk for security reasons.
Glad your purses were still in the trunk. I've done the same. Is that haunting third sculpture of the headless people by Magdalena Abakanowicz by any chance?

OMG! I have done the very same thing...not with our purses but with some very expensive binoculars and spotting scopes belonging to me & 3 friends.. Luckily everything was still there! Good grief, where was my head?

Wow! One of these days we're going to run into each other. We almost went there on Friday.
