The building features galleries for special exhibitions, modern and contemporary art, new media, photography and works on paper.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winner Zaha Hadid, the 46,000-square-foot Broad Art Museum at MSU features a striking façade of pleated stainless steel and glass, distinguishing the building from MSU’s traditional Collegiate Gothic north campus.
