STL DPB On The Road: Kansas City

.

I love Tom Otterness. He's the sculptor of a wonderful cute/terrifying work in Citygarden back home. Well today we're in Kansas City and, after checking into our hotel, paid a visit to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. It's not very big as these things go but it has a very good collection and rotating special shows. Otterness' The Crying Giant is the first thing you see when you approach the museum from one direction.


A bit later we crossed the state line into Kansas and joined a bunch of the in-laws for dinner at Taqueria Mexico. It's supposed to be KC's best Mexican restaurant. I'm not qualified to say, but it was pretty good.
