Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Bloch Galleries Renovation

JE Dunn completed the renovation of the Nelson-Atkins Museum from north of Sculpture Hall to Period Room for Henry Bloch’s private collection. The 10,000 square foot renovation of the Plaza Level included new steel catwalk, rolling gantry, gallery space, new lighting and acoustics throughout. The new galleries now provide state-of-the-art technology including in-gallery tablets and interactive stations, along with podcast-style audio tours, guided tours, events and talks.

The Marion and Henry Bloch collection consists of 29 masterworks by the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist of the 19th century, which were donated to the museum to showcase.
