PROJECT NAME Nelson Atkins Museum of Art
PROJECT LOCATION Kansas City, Missouri
PROJECT ARCHITECT BNIM Architects
PROJECT GENERAL CONTRACTOR J.E. Dunn Construction
NUMBER OF WINDOWS 56
SCOPE OF WORK Recently finished Phase 1 to restore 28 bronze butterfly casement windows.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City is one of the country's premier art institutions. Its rich collections bring together masterpieces from every culture and period of the world, spanning over 5,000 years. The Museum opened its doors in 1933 as a gift to the community from William Rockhill Nelson (1841-1915), founder of The Kansas City Star.

Re-View was contracted to perform the complete restoration of the bronze butterfly casement windows. Over the years, the bronze windows had tarnished and much of the glazing had been replaced with Lexan. A Lexan storm was screwed to the exterior of each lite through the bronze sash. Re-View is blasting each window with a fine silica sand to remove caulking, paint, and deterioration. All holes from the storm windows were plugged and then a specially formulated patina was applied to achieve an original weathered finish.
