Cranbrook Institute of Science, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

The Art Museum and Institute of Science offer exceptional museum exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, architecture and design in all media. The simple grace of a Saarinen chair, the color and depth of a Maija Grotell vase, the abstract geometry of Harry Bertoia's metalwork, the startling realism of Duane Hanson's Body Builder tell the story of Cranbrook Museum through the individual expressions of those who were touched by this extraordinary Michigan attraction.
