Museum of Art

This shot shows part of the new addition to the University of Michigan Museum of Art. The addition was recently opened to the public. The architecture of the new wing is quite stark, particularly in comparison to the Beaux Arts style of the original museum to which this new structure is attached. Makes for a good contrast, particularly for an art museum.
