Located in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is a cultural arts center that opened in 1913. The museum offers exhibitions, educational programs, performance events and publications.
The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art was established by the St. Joseph Art League, an association of 12 women who wanted to increase public awareness and understanding of the arts. The William Merritt Chase painting, "A Venetian Balcony," was the first work in the museum's collection. In 1966, the league formed the Albrecht Gallery in the home of William Albrecht. The Missouri building was expanded in 1991, and the museum was renamed as Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, in honor of R. Crosby Kemper.
The museum has collections of 18th-, 19th- and 20th-century American landscape paintings and American Impressionism. It also conducts such special programs as child and adult art classes, gallery talks, film series, and performances. Facilities are available to organize private or public special events.
A library houses 2,500 volumes, a collection of periodicals, and other materials relating to the permanent collection and the history of art.
