Touching and fitting tribute to all those who fought in the Korean War. Specifically dedicated to the 415 Kansans who lost their lives in that struggle, as well as the two Kansans awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Address: 119th & Lowell
The following description of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art appears in the Visitor Orientation Guide:
"Designed by the world-renowned architect Kyu Sung Woo, the 38,000 square foot Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art houses six major changing exhibition galleries, three permanent collection galleries, a new media gallery, a Kansas city-based artist' project gallery, a 200-seat auditorium, two classrooms, a museum store and Cafe Tempo. The Nerman Museum is the largest contemporary art museum in the four-state region."
I was delighted to find the galleries to be spacious, well-lit, and boasting a number of interesting works, although I was only able to visit the (second floor) permanent galleries due to the closure of first floor galleries for mechanical work at the time.
Address: 12345 College Blvd, Overland Park, Kansas
Directions: On the campus of Johnson County Community College; best accessed from Quivira Road.

Hard work becomes adventure and fun for kids.
A great outing for kids or grandkids! - And it is free!!
In my opinion - Overland Park's finest attraction. Children meet farm animals, learn about farming and life in earlier times, visit two types of Indian lodging, ride ponies, and more. All this is done in setting with playgrounds and flower gardens. More exhibits are in the planning and building stages.
The farmstead was established in 1976, then dedicated to Deanna Rose, a city police officer killed in the line of duty in 1985. Since that time, the community has rallied around the farmstead and made it a unique attraction.
More pictures available on my travelogues.
