Religion always complicates things," she says. "All of the sudden, you're no longer looking at the falling plaster from the ceiling and the really poor quality living conditions. You're looking at these weird religious photographs that have saints and angels. [Colleen McDannell], who describes herself as a "garden-variety agnostic," nevertheless thinks it's very important to shine a spotlight on images of faith from the Depression era. "Scholars have really ignored the religious world of the '30s and '40s, and actually that's been a problem because this was a very creative and important time for the development of the pluralistic nation that we're in now," she says.

It's the perfect road trip during the lull of the holiday season. In this second installment of a two-part series, features reporter Lindsey Howald explores Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Last week, she explored the Saint Louis Art Museum. Every major city has a stash of art to be proud of.

Kansas City is no different. Thanks to a gift-purchase combination with Hallmark Cards Inc. in 2006, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art now boasts one of the finest American photography collections in the country, with more than 7,000 works. Remember D...
