Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art - Kansas City, MO - Odd-Shaped Buildings on Waymarking.com

The building is long and skinny. At the tips, it spreads out at roughly a 60 degree angle to the middle where it turns again to another point at the other side of the building. It's more like a trapezoid shape than anything else.

Taken from Wikipedia, "The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art opened in 1994 in Kansas City, Missouri. With a $3 million annual budget and more than 100,000 visitors each year, it is Missouri's largest contemporary museum. The museum opened in 1994 with an exhibition of rare early series of 28 watercolors by Georgia O'Keeffe, known as the "Canyon Suite" (1916-1918), that had never been shown publicly as a group. In 1999, the paintings' authenticity was challenged because the paper used for some of them could not have been obtained in the United States from 1916 to 1918, when O'Keeffe taught art at West Texas State Normal College in Canyon. The National Gallery of Art subsequently excluded the "Canyon Suite" from O'Keeffe's catalogue raisonne, and Gerald Peters Gallery refunded the $5 million that the Kemper Museum paid for them."
