Museum - Roanoke, Taubman Museum of Art

Encompasses the functions of an art museum but is broader in scope and more of a hybrid non-profit, permanent cultural institution. The collections form one of many equivalent cores around which exhibitions and educational programs are organized. The art center serves as a focal point of social and cultural engagement, a sort of 'town hall' for the arts. It is the ideas and experiences, educational initiatives and learning environments, and community engagement and collaboration that form the core of the art center.
