ArtBabble has some early presents for you: The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri will now be sharing their content on ArtBabble! Take a look at their videos and let them know how much you appreciate it.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago is one of the largest contemporary art museums in the world. After opening in 1967, the museum has since established an extensive collection of over 2,700 works of various media from the post-World War II era. Encompassing such movements as surrealism, pop, minimalism, and conceptual art, MCA’s collection highlights include works from many notable artists, including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, and Jeff Koons. Take a look at some of the videos below to see how MCA is shaping new ways for audiences to experience contemporary art.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is located in Kansas City, Missouri and houses one of the finest encyclopedic collections of art in the United States. Housed within the museum are impressive collections of Asian art and both European and American painting, as well as a photography collection that spans the medium’s entire existence. Another amazing feature at Nelson-Atkins is the Kansas City Sculpture Park. Located on the museum’s expansive lawn, the park features work by Alexander Calder, Auguste Rodin, and it’s well known work Shuttlecocks by Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen.
