The Museum of Kansas City is introducing a new opportunity for meaningful civic engagement: an annual corporate membership model.
This new model will allow your organization to have a visible and lasting impact year-round—ensuring general admission remains free and supporting every educational aspect of our work, from groundbreaking exhibitions to engaging programs and community events.
A New Era of Visibility
This fall, we are excited to launch a dynamic marketing campaign to introduce the Museum’s new brand identity. As a valued corporate member, your organization will benefit from high-visibility recognition across both local and national platforms. This includes prominent placement in digital and print media—ranging from targeted advertisements to social media outreach.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We have an exciting year ahead, including:
- New Major Exhibitions – Expected to draw thousands of visitors from across the region.
- World Cup Activities – Celebrating Kansas City as a host city.
- Monthly Public & Educational Programs – Ongoing engagement with diverse audiences.
These ambitious initiatives are only possible with the continued support of our corporate community.
We invite you to be a part of this exciting new chapter by becoming a 2026 Annual Corporate Member. Together, we can continue to inspire, educate, and celebrate the stories and experiences that define the city we all love.
