A Palace Ruined
You get a taste of the full former grandeur of this American palace in the 3 of 70 rooms which have not be wrecked with museum displays. These rooms get 5 stars. As does the recreated pharmacy/soda fountain in the basement. The remaining rooms open to the public contain good historical and natural history displays, but ones that should have been put in another structure, not at the expense of one of KCs most beautiful homes. Picture grand neoclassical murals painted over purple and replaced with stuffed bison.
