The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is an art museum in Kansas City, Missouri, known for its neoclassical architecture and extensive collection of Asian art. In 2007, Time magazine ranked the museum's new Bloch Building number one on its list of "The 10 Best (New and Upcoming) Architectural Marvels" which considered candidates from around the globe. Architect Steven Holl won an international competition in 1999 for the design of the addition. Holl's concept was to build five glass towers to the east of the original building which he calls lenses. The lenses top a 165, 000-square-foot (15, 300 m2) underground building known as the Bloch Building. It is named for H&R Block co-founder Henry W. Bloch. The addition cost approximately $95 million and opened June 9, 2007.
