KC is a reasonably culturally hip location as well. Decent music and arts scene. It's not San Francisco, but it beats the rest of Silicon Valley in that department.

And the Nelson-Atkins Museum is better than anything in the Bay Area, in my opinion.

Been a while since I saw the Nelson-Atkins, but there are several solid museums in SF, as opposed to Nelson-Atkins being one of the few games in town in KC.

The Bay Area has more decent museums than KC, but it doesn't really have any outstanding museums. Kinda weird, really.

KC has an ok modern art museum, and Lawrence KS has a decent museum at the university there.
