ELI AND EDYTHE BROAD ART MUSEUM

If you are interested in exploring international contemporary culture and through art, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University is the place for you. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the museum features a striking facade of pleated stainless steel and glass, signaling the museum and the university’s dynamic vision.

Via the MSU Broad website, “The MSU Broad is committed to amplifying perspectives and stories by underrepresented and oppressed communities through the arts, and creating an inclusive environment for meaningful dialogue about equity and social justice. The MSU Broad employs actively anti-racist approaches to exhibitions and programming by making evident systems of privilege, power, and oppression that are pervasive and self-perpetuating with the objective of working towards restorative solutions.”

Fun fact: The Broad Art Museum was featured in the 2016 film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Check out the Broad in the opening scenes of the trailer below.
