On Friday, September 1, USA TODAY 10Best announced the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts as one of the winners in their 10 Best Readers’ Choice award category for Missouri’s best attractions.

During the past four weeks, readers voted for their favorite Missouri destinations, including landmarks, museums and historical sites in every corner of the state. An expert panel initially nominated a list of 20 Missouri attractions before the public voted for the top 10 winners.

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts placed ninth in this category and shares the honor of being voted into the top 10 Missouri attractions with other Kansas City institutions including: the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Arts, fourth place; the Arabia Steamboat Museum, seventh place; and the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum, tenth place.  The public awarded first place in this category to the Branson Entertainment District in southwestern Missouri.
