The 59th Super Bowl on February 9 features the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles, attracting over 100 million viewers. A unique wager, the Museum Bowl, involves a loan between the Nelson-Atkins Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, contingent on which city's team wins. The last encounter in the Super Bowl ended with the Chiefs winning, leading to the PMA lending a Thomas Eakins painting to Kansas City. Directors from both museums are optimistic about their teams’ victories and excited about the prospect of trading art treasures.
Our friends in Philadelphia so enjoyed their last visit to the Nelson-Atkins two years ago that we expect to see them again this year, as we are confident our team will once again be victorious.
We will offer a proper Philly welcome as the city celebrates our Eagles' win on the Rocky Steps. There's no doubt that we are eyeing up their world-class collection and thinking about what would look best on our walls.
