If beautiful fall foliage doesn't convince you to head to the
Roanoke Valley this fall, maybe the new Taubman Museum of Art will.
On November 8th, the 81,000-square-foot art complex opens its doors to the public.
On November 8th, the 81,000-square-foot art complex opens its doors to the public.I was in Roanoke a few months back, and though the museum was still a work in progress, I was really taken with its exterior. The sweeping contemporary design, countered by a rust-colored finish in some sections, somehow manages to complement both the charming industrial feel of Market Square and the surrounding landscape. And that's just the outside. Check out the museum's collection of contemporary art, photography, 19th and early 20th century American art, and more.
Taubman Museum of Art is located at 110 Salem Avenue in Roanoke, VA. Visit the Taubman Museum Website and the Art Museum of Western Virginia Website for more info. And click here for a description of exhibitions and detailed schedule of opening day activities.

Kudos to the Taubman Museum! The new "Bilbao" of
America has emerged in Roanoke! While the exterior of the building is unique within 500 miles the interior has lines and curves of patented zinc that defy gravity! There is an exhibit inside the museum that details how construction was accomplished. It is quite a visual treat for the eyes and for the senses.
nice building design
