The focus here is on contemporary art with retrospectives of individual artists, as well as exhibits focusing on specific themes or media. Photography and video are both well represented, and for the most part, the exhibits are the most avant-garde in the Seattle area. The museum's latest cutting edge installation is Skyspace by artist James Turrell, who uses light to create his artworks. The Skyspace is a small room with an oval opening in the ceiling to frame the sky. At night, the outside of the glass Skyspace is illuminated by an ever-changing light show. Located on the west side of the University of Washington campus, this museum benefits from large, well-lit gallery spaces illuminated by pyramidal and cubic skylights that can be seen near the main museum entrance. There's also a cafe here and a small sculpture courtyard. Parking is often available at the Central Parking Garage at NE 41st Street and 15th Avenue NE. Expect the unexpected and prepare to be challenged in your concept of what constitutes art.
