Critics have plenty of labels for Wolfgang Laib: shaman, ascetic, mystic. He would be the Jedi master of modern minimalist sculpture, if the Germans went in for glibness. Let's just call him a very patient man, one with a singular vision. How patient? His new installation at the Nelson-Atkins... More >>

Bill Watterson, the reclusive artist who drew the beloved newspaper strip Calvin and Hobbes, was not, according to comic-book artist Dan Clowes, "fit to hold Charles Schulz's jock strap" back when Schulz was in his prime.

Best done during daylight hours, bar hopping on Broadway between Armour Boulevard and 39th Street can be a crapshoot. But the scene is looking up. After an eight-month vacancy, 3611 Broadway is occupied by Varieties, a gay-friendly spot that serves cocktails and smiles from 10 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.... More >>

Hide & Seek: Picturing Childhood Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art	Every week Thursday from Thu., October 1 until Sun., February 21, 10:00am-9:00pm more dates/times	Midtown	Art
It may be a singularly American phenomenon, but there's no way a museum opens a photo exhibit exploring the complexity of youth and innocence without considering who's gonna cry pedophilia. Particularly when the lead image is the work of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll), a brilliant... More >>

It's a bit of a catch-22 for the novice cyclist. Those slick athletes in aerodynamic helmets and colorful spandex can be inspiring -- and more than a little intimidating. Group rides are good motivation, but they're tempered with the potential for public displays of rookie mistakes and... More >>

One day this past spring, the American Jazz Museum was filled with a couple of busloads of tourists.
