The Albrecht-Kemper Musuem of Art plans to re-open this weekend after a fire forced the museum to close last month.

As we previously reported, an electrical fire forced the museum to close last month after a large amount of smoke spread through the building.  The fire took place in the loading dock area but no active flames were reported and it was quickly contained. Since Nov. 13 a professional cleaning service has been assisting with clean-up.

A re-opening is scheduled for Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m for two new exhibits.  Jane Graves with the museum said public is invited to the reception for “Printmaking in Kansas City: The Moffett Collection” and “Wish You Were Here: Postcards Reconsidered.”  There is no charge to attend the opening

AKMA Cafe will reopen for lunch on Wednesday and Thursdays starting Dec. 14.

Conservators are still working with the permanent collection so Graves said the lower level of the museum is temporarily closed until that job is complete.
