Local Attractions

Michigan Theater

Theater
10 minutes away
Constructed during the silent film era when films were shown with live musical accompaniment, the Historic Auditorium is known, acoustically speaking, as a "live" house. The acoustics are perfect for classical music, one of the reasons we've been home to the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra since 1984. Additionally, guest performers love being on our stage because of its excellent natural sound. The Historic Theater is also equipped with a state-of-the-art movie sound system, the same system used in the Screening Room. However, since the spaces themselves are very different, films will sound different. Additionally, some soundtracks are not as clear as others. This may be because of a poor quality soundtrack on the print, or it may be an artistic choice by the director. (For instance, the films of Robert Altman tend to have "muddy" sound.) Viewing a film in the Historic Theater is an event in itself. Real gold leaf, real butter on the popcorn - in short, this is a movie palace that is simply not like any other theater. Seats: 1700 Sound: CP500 Dolby Digital Surround sound system with 6 channels. Screen: 35' x 19' Organ: 1927 Barton Theater Pipe Organ

University of Michigan Museum of Modern Art

Museum
2 blocks away
In 2009, the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) opened a landmark 53,000-square-foot expansion, named the Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing for its lead benefactors, and a major restoration of its historic, 41,000-square-foot home, Alumni Memorial Hall. Designed by principal architect Brad Cloepfil and his team at Allied Works Architecture, the $41.9 million transformation not only more than doubled the space available for collections display, temporary exhibitions, programs and educational exploration, but also fulfilled the Museum’s mission to bridge visual art and contemporary culture, scholarship and accessibility, tradition and innovation.
