What makes it fun
The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art houses one of the world's most prestigious collections of emerging and established artists. Many of the region's most important exhibitions of cutting-edge contemporary art are presented at the museum, as well as dynamic and diverse educational programming. Kyu Sung Woo designed the elegant, minimalist structure, which is encased in Kansas limestone. There are 11 large galleries for temporary exhibitions and the permanent collection spread across the museum's two levels. The museum has two lobbies: the stunning cantilever entrance (which features a dazzling 60,000 white LED installation by artist Leo Villareal) and the glass and metal Atrium lobby.
