The Museum collections are encyclopedic and represent major periods of the City’s development from the mid-19th century to the present day. Of particular interest are some of the original furnishings from the residence, and the carriages and tack, as well as hundreds of ribbons and trophies, of Mrs. Combs’ storied career in the horse show ring. Other Museum collections of note include the Colonel Daniel Dyer Collection of Native American artifacts; their quilt collection, with over 100 of the finest examples from the region; and the Warner Untersee photography collection, comprising more than 200,000 images and objects from his 1950s studio.
During this period of renovation and construction at the site, the exhibition program at Kansas City Museum is adapting and changing. We are currently unable to utilize our exhibit galleries. Therefore, we are making our collection accessible to the public in a variety of ways – in print, on the web and through lectures and programs at the collection storage facility.
