Super Bowl 59 bet pays off for Philadelphia Museum of Art

Kansas City's top art museum has squared up its Super Bowl bet with Philadelphia.

Driving the news: Édouard Manet's "The Croquet Party" is now on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is on loan from the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in K.C.

Catch up quick: Leaders at the Philly and Kansas City museums wagered one of their Manet oil paintings on Super Bowl 59.

The Eagles dominated the Chiefs 40-22, so the Nelson-Atkins Museum ponied up the painting.

Worth noting: The bet wasn't for keepsies.
