It is the Taubman Museum of Art, and the weirdest building I've ever seen. What's more. it has weird art such as metal panels that move when you move in the same pattern and shape. Freaky. >_> there’s a new one on the list of weird museums…and it is right here in Roanoke, VA, AKA “The Star City”. It is the Taubman Museum of Art, and the weirdest building I’ve ever seen.

For those who criticize recent museum design projects for elevating form over function, I'd like to point out that Calatrava's addition to MAM includes a state-of-the-art conservation facility, a 10,000 square-foot gallery space completely free of vertical supports and impediments, and a 285-seat lecture hall with impeccable acoustics. It's a contribution to the Museum's mission that will continue for generations to come--regardless of whether or not the design's aesthetics remain in favor. /John Eding, Milwaukee Art Museum I’m delighted to see the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion, now in its 8th year, still included in this list of innovative designs.
