Inside the American Jazz Museum, the essence and living spirit of jazz legends fill the atmosphere, as the story of jazz and its greatest performers is told through the sights and sounds of one the most interactive museums in the country.   The 50,000-square-foot museum complex has opened at the intersection of 18th and Vine Streets, paying homage to the area known as the cultural and economic center of Kansas City's African-American community in the decades before desegregation. Known as the Museums at 18th & Vine, the complex is comprised of the American Jazz Museum, Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the Horace M. Peterson Visitors Center, and the 500-seat Gem Theater. Located behind the museum complex is an outdoor performance theater.
