A Frame of Mind takes a hard look at race in America through the lens of one art museum. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art sits at a crossroads: in the middle of Kansas City, in the middle of the country, and in the middle of America’s shifting cultural landscape. We’re working through the slow and sometimes messy change of a big museum asking what it can be and whose stories it tells. Along the way... more

  • Thank you

    Thank you so very much for this. Each episode had several pieces that sunk into my psyche. Your poetry, beautiful and powerful. And, I left with a sliver of, dare I say it, hope.

    I’m from Minnesota and hope to visit Kansas City and the museum in the future.

  • Other museums in the world should do this

    Not only is it an enjoyable listen, but I hope it is something other museums and institutions listen to and think of using as another way to explore their own roles in their own communities. I’m impressed by how the Nelson-Atkins has begun this with vulnerability, thoughtfulness, and, of course, beauty. I hope other museums follow suit.

  • I learned so much!

    I loved all episodes of this podcast. I grew up on the east side of Troost and I know about the racial dividing line. I no longer live in KCMO, and when I come back to visit, it saddens me to see such a great city still so divided. This is a MUST listen.

  • Well worth a listen!

    This is the first episode for me, but I look forward to hearing the others. I’ve been a Nelson-Atkins volunteer for the past seven years and have been aware of Glenn North’s contributions to the cultural life of Kansas City. How great that he is doing this podcast!

  • Rich and enlightening

    I love this podcast! Well written and so well delivered. It helped me see the Nelson - and the city around it - in a completely new dimension. Content is relevant to people who live in KC, people who don’t … anyone who looks around their city and feels connected to a historic building, and anyone who doesn’t … anyone who loves museums, and anyone who doesn’t … anyone who wants to better understand the experience of all people in the community, and (most importantly) anyone who hasn’t thought abo... more
