Formerly known as the Art Museum of Western Virginia, the Taubman Museum of Art is housed in the sprawling area of 16,000 square feet (1486.44 square meters). The museum has a permanent exhibition that features works by regional American artists that give you a peek into the world of aboriginal fine art. Besides, there are temporary exhibits that showcase contemporary artwork in different genres like photography and sculpture. Housed in a modernist building, the Taubman Museum of Art is worth visiting not only for the art that it has but also for the beauty of the building.
