The museum houses a moderately large and constantly changing collection of cutting-edge postmodern art, including Damien Hirst, Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, and Nam June Paik. The architecture (by Zaha Hadid) is controversial, but undeniably spectacular.
The center is on the campus of MSU and is home of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra, which performs 17 concerts a year for free. The center hosts many of the best Broadway shows, finest classical musicians, and unrivaled dance companies. The theater completed a major renovation in 2009.
