The museum, which was locally referred to as the Nelson Art Gallery or simply the Nelson Gallery, was actually two museums until 1983 when it was formally named the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Previously the east wing was called the Atkins Museum of Fine Arts, while the west wing and lobby was called the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art. [6] “When I perform at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art for the Chinese New Year, I am immersed in my heritage. I have the masters’ works around me. What I do allows people to see behind the glass. They can see how I hold the brush and feel the paper. They can smell the ink. I move this ancient and traditional art from behind the barriers.” Over 20 years in the making, the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art and Mary Atkins Museum of Fine Arts opened its doors to the public for the first time in December 1933. The Year of the Dragon has arrived. Celebrate at the free 2024 Lunar New Year festival, this Sunday, Jan. 28.
