Two updates from the Nelson-Atkins:
First, we are expecting a large crowd of visitors this Sunday, April 3, for Passport to India. Please know that a shuttle will run from the Kauffman Foundation and Gardens throughout the day, and we encourage visitors to park in those lots. Please join us for the event!
Second, the vibrant sculptures by Philip Haas, Four Seasons, which have been in place on the south lawn of the museum for four seasons, are scheduled to be deinstalled this month. We wanted you to be aware, because this will involve heavy equipment and the closure of one lane of Oak Street for one week. Here is the expected schedule:
Monday, April 11: Offloading crating materials from the circle drive off Oak Street.
Friday, April 15: Delivery of equipment, including a spydercrane, crawler boom lift, telehandler and forklift.
Sunday, April 17: Local traffic control firm Gun-Ko will consolidate northbound traffic on Oak Street to a single lane; 95% of curbside northbound lane between Cleaver II and the museum West Lot will be closed to traffic including school buses. The closed lane will be needed for the transfer of sculpture components via fork lift to the West Lot for crating, transfer and staging of packed crates south along the curb, and eventual loading of four full-length tractor-trailers.
Monday, April 18 through Friday, April 22: Deinstallation takes place, with no visitor/public access to the South Terrace. We anticipate this to require five days, through Friday, April 22. Oak Street traffic should return to normal by Saturday, April 23.
