Went to the museum with my brother today! Saw some of my all time favorite paintings as well as other types of art :)

We also saw the art deco exhibit, lots of neat stuff. I really wish art deco and art niveau architecture was still popular, it's so magical and cool. Also there was a huge photo on the wall of a bunch of guys standing around a car and ngl, one of them was incredibly handsome and I couldnt stop staring, lol. They had a lost of queer history, BIPOC history, and Kansas history art on exhibit there too! incredibly cool stuff and very uplifting to see after the club q shooting. We will persist!

this was at the Nelson-Atkins in Kansas City, admission is free :)
