| Urban Expeditions: Immersive Impressions | REGISTER |
Tonganoxie Recreation Commission invites you to join us on our first expedition to Kansas City! We will be taking a drive to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art to experience “A Beautiful Disruption”, an impressionism immersive exhibit. “This immersive, multisensory experience transports us into the worlds of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, including Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Cézanne. Light and sound guides us through formative works of art and provide insights in the artists’ own words. After the experience, we’ll join a volunteer Museum Guide to discuss and contemplate select works in a communal looking environment. The entire experience is approximately 45 minutes.” After we’ve enhanced our minds and gathered the inspiration from the exhibit, we will drive on over to The Plaza for a lunch buffet at Jack Stack BBQ. Your registration fee will include transportation, admission to the exhibit, and the lunch buffet.
