Free Weekend Fun: Nouveau Notes

Step into the creative world of artist Alfonse Mucha at this free drop-in activity at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. In the Bloch Building lobby, you and your kids can design your own postcard inspired by Mucha's distinctive style. Then head to Gallery 128 to dive deeper into art appreciation with help from Museum Guide volunteers, who'll guide you through how artists use color, shape, and line to create eye-catching work. This is a perfect outing for families who enjoy hands-on creativity without the pressure of advance planning. There's no registration needed—just show up during the activity window and participate at your own pace. Best of all, it's completely free, and you'll be exploring one of Kansas City's most beloved cultural institutions. Whether your kids are budding artists or just looking for a fun Saturday activity, this combines making art with learning from the galleries themselves.
