Editorial Review for Seattle Art Museum – by Citysearch Editors

The Preview
More than 24,000 objects are housed within the four-story glass, steel, terra cotta and marble building--the product of Robert Venturi's original $64 million design and Allied Works' $86 million expansion. Enthusiastic throngs flock to blockbuster exhibitions; but the expanded permanent collection should not be missed, especially the Native American, African and American art galleries. The museum's first two floors are dedicated to public space, offering computers, magazines, games and more
