East Bank, U of M Frank Gehry building, university museum

Weisman Art Museum

A Frank Gehry building from 1993, all crumpled brushed-steel curves overlooking the Mississippi. The collection focuses on early twentieth-century American art and works on paper. Worth the visit just for the building, which photographs differently every time the sun moves.
