A World-Class Museum for your Unique Event

We have a fabulous collection of world-class artwork on view. Each time you visit we may have something new. We cannot guarantee that any piece will be on view during your event. In order to protect our collection of original artwork, certain items are not permitted in the galleries including fresh-cut greenery (flowers are permitted from a florist), confetti, open flame, and balloons. Please contact us with any questions.

The staff of the AKMA is committed to making your vision a reality. To request more information or to book an event, please contact Amber Wilcox, Events Manager, at 816-233-7003.
