Perched high on the bluff above the Missouri River, in the heart of Kansas City’s enchanting Historic Northeast, you’re invited to the very first MUSE GALA fundraiser, a magical evening celebrating Kansas City’s fashion, history, and culture.
Beginning in 2027, this sparkling celebration will twirl into tradition every First Saturday in May.
MUSE GALA will directly support the Museum’s Pathway Project, a new workforce and career development initiative for youth and young adults ages 13-23. Through paid internships, employment opportunities, consulting roles, and mentorship, the Museum is supporting the next generation of diverse museum and humanities leaders.
More details are coming soon—stay tuned!
