As part of our mission and vision, the American Jazz Museum aims to exhibit a collection of artifacts that helps tell the story of jazz's impact in Kansas City, the nation, and the world.
The Collections Department is excited to provide access to collections to jazz scholars and researchers. To schedule a research appointment or inquire about accessing an artifact digitally, please reach out directly to the Department of Collections.
We welcome the opportunity to consider offers of collection donations. Due to the volume of offers we receive on a weekly basis, the museum does not accept original materials without prior communication, review and approval from a representative in the Department of Collections.
