THE KANSAS CITY MUSEUM PROPERTY IS BEING DESIGNED AS A WELCOMING, INCLUSIVE, AND RESPONSIVE GATHERING PLACE WHERE VISITORS LEARN ABOUT THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF THE CITY. WHAT SETS THE KANSAS CITY MUSEUM APART FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS IS ITS EDUCATIONAL AS WELL AS CIVIC PURPOSE WITH A COMMITMENT TO BEING THE "HOME OF THE WHOLE STORY" WHERE PERSPECTIVES AND EXPERIENCES OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE OFTEN UNDERREPRESENTED AND OVERLOOKED ARE ACKNOWLEDGED, HONORED, AND ELEVATED TO TELL MORE COMPLETE AND ACCURATE STORIES OF THE CITY'S COMPLEX HISTORY. THE KANSAS CITY MUSEUM BELIEVES THAT MUSEUMS HAVE THE CAPACITY TO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS, PARKS, AND PUBLIC SPACES, AND CAN BE CATALYSTS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND POSITIVE SYSTEMIC CHANGE. THE KANSAS CITY MUSEUM ENDEAVORS TO CREATE A MORE JUST, INCLUSIVE, AND UNIFIED CITY BY CREATING EXHIBITS, PROGRAMS, AND EXPERIENCES THAT CENTER ON THE OFTEN UNTOLD OR UNDER-TOLD STORIES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE ENDURED HISTORICAL HARMS AND EXCLUSIONS. IN THIS WAY, THE MUSEUM PLAYS A PART IN SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCING THE CITY'S GROWTH, VITALITY, AND CREATIVITY. FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2024, THE KANSAS CITY MUSEUM WAS SUCCESSFULLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND OPERATED FOR A FULL 12 MONTHS.
