I took a walk around the property at Contemporary Austin Laguna Gloria this afternoon. It is a Villa/Museum/Art School located on the shores of Lake Austin. The Winter temperatures were in the 70s today, so it made for a lovely day!

Polkapocalypse
And for the best part of the day – Polkapocalypse with Brave Combo . Or, how to turn a quaint, unassuming park into a Sunday afternoon Dance Party…
Elizabet Ney Museum
Who builds a tiny castle in the middle of Hyde Park in Austin? Elizabet Ney moved here from Germany and built her studio in 1892. It is now the Elizabet Ney Museum and is a good place to visit if you like History, Sculpture, or Architecture.
The Contemporary Austin (roof)
My favorite part about The Contemporary Austin today was that they had the roof of the building open for visiting. Of course, I had to take a few photos of the downtown buildings.
The Contemporary Austin (interior)
The artist, Do Ho Suh , has created several pieces, but the standout item is his “series of rooms and passageways from Suh’s 348 West 22nd Street apartment complex and studio where he lived in New York City”. This is made of polyester fabric, stainless steel tubes and stainless steel wire. Pretty cool.
The Contemporary Austin (exterior)
My second museum to visit for free on Austin Museum Day is The Contemporary Austin . This art gallery is located at 7th and Congress, so you just have to run out into the street and snap a photo of the Capitol Building .
