When we saw the sky coming up around the north side of the Nelson-Atkins Museum, we had to pull into the circle drive and take a few pictures. The Sculpture Lawn is one of my favorite places in Kansas City. I love the buildings, with their distinctive architectural concepts, I love the large, well maintained green space, and I love the view of it and from it. I love sitting on the benches that surround the lawn and watching people play games of pickup Ultimate and football, following the slope of the lawn all the way down to Theis Park and Brush Creek, the sculptures that dot the landscape, especially the shuttlecocks that are so familiar to a KansasCitian.
