In this episode of the Fine Art Photography Podcast, we discuss the world class photography collection held in a place you probably wouldn't think of -- the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. We will also discuss the amazing Fitz archive, which includes some of North America's oldest photographs, and was discovered in a wooden shed in New York this year. The Fitz archive was just acquired by the Nelson-Atkins Museum.
