Sunday is a perfect day for a visit to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. It is always a treat. The Funerary Lion that sits in the Gallery Sculpture Hall on the main level of the gallery is one of my favorite works of art in Kansas City.
Sculpted from marble in Athens Greece, it dates from about 325 BCE [1]. The lion epitomizes the power and grace of Greek culture.
Before the weather outside is too beautiful to ignore, check out the Nelson or a museum or gallery near you.
