One of the area's most prestigious avant-garde art museums is located on the campus of the Cranbrook Schools. Acclaimed contemporary painters and sculptors are featured along with promising new artists, including students at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, in challenging and cutting-edge exhibitions. The museum's permanent collection highlights the accomplishments of decades of Cranbrook graduates working in many different media. This is a popular gathering spot for local artists and art critics and is the center of a vibrant artistic community. It's about a 40-minute drive from downtown Detroit and an hour from Metro Airport.
