Taubman Museum of Art
A deconstructivist landmark in the city center. Its collection covers 19th- and 20th-century American art and contemporary exhibitions, and the permanent collection is free.
Designed by Randall Stout, who also worked on the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the museum's wave-shaped glass and metal exterior makes it the most striking building in the city. The collection includes 19th- and 20th-century American paintings, folk art and contemporary art. The permanent collection is free, while special exhibitions charge admission. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is right next to City Market Square and within walking distance.
