Fodor's Expert Review Grand Rapids Art Museum
Grand Rapids
The world's first LEED Gold–certified art museum opened in downtown Grand Rapids in 2007, specializing in paintings and drawings from 19th- and 20th-century American and European artists. Founded in 1910 as Grand Rapids Art Gallery, its previous home was a federal building. Among the most recognized artists in the 125,000-square-foot museum's 5,000-piece collection are Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Albrecht Dürer. Each fall the citywide ArtPrize competition brings thousands of people to the museum.
