Seattle Art Museum
Seattle's downtown Art Museum is landmarked by the animated
thudding massive steel sculpture by Jonathon Borofsky called
'Hammering Man' that stands outside. Inside the remarkable
building, designed by Robert Venturi, are a large range of exhibits
covering European and American art, from ancient through to a vast
20th-century collection devoted to Northwest contemporary art. Free
guided tours of the different collections are offered.
