Munson, Art museum and arts center in Utica, United States.
The Munson building features a suspended structure supported by eight ferro-concrete piers and contains a central courtyard illuminated by natural light.
Founded in 1919, the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute established itself as a regional center for visual arts education and cultural programming in New York State.
The museum holds a significant collection of American art, including Thomas Cole's The Voyage of Life series, partnering with the National Gallery in Washington DC.
Students can complete foundational studies at Munson through its partnership with Pratt Institute before transferring to the main campus in Brooklyn, New York.
The museum building, designed by architect Philip Johnson in 1960, creates an optical illusion of floating through a dry moat surrounding office areas.
