Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art

Recently, we were in the mood for an easy - breezy, take the day as it comes, quest for beauty. The plan: explore a few local attractions, take photos, spend as much time as we like, and just enjoy! Our "Search for Beauty Day" led us to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
