Took a Chicago area artist to the Ann Arbor Street Art Fairs, but his favorite spot was the UM Art Museum. For it size, it has some marvelous acquisitions and the original building is spectacular. More

Has a small, but very nice collection, and often hosts visiting events. A great place to spend an afternoon. More

Since the new addition it is possible to see a much wider display of the extensive collections. There is no cost of admission and its easy to just stop in when in the area. More

coming from the New York City area with its fabulous museums, I felt the exhibits here, while interesting, were a little sparse. Perhaps I am jaded, but nonetheless, am glad I visited. More

Wonderful exibits open to the public free, but with a suggested $5.00 donation-well worth it. More
