At this center, it is hard to tell if the real art is inside on display or outside. The impressive landscape, with a historic building (an old hydroelectric plant) obscured beneath a small forest of aspen trees and the rushing Frying Pan in the background, could easily grace a frame. It is by far one of the most scenic art museums in the country. The gallery hosts rotating installations year round, and the exhibitions usually focus on contemporary art, from the surreal to the abstract. Recent shows have included the portrait paintings of Elizabeth Peyton.
