"The Contemporary Austin at Laguna Gloria The Laguna Gloria campus of the Contemporary art museum, on the shores of Lake Austin, offersa wonderful blend of nature and human achievement (the museum has another location downtown). The Italianate villawas built following the original owner’s trip to Lake Como, Italy, more than a century ago. In addition to galleries, Laguna Gloria features an amphitheater for events and film screenings, an art school, and a sculpture garden. The museum hasexhibited works by artists such as Ai Weiwei, Anya Gallaccio, Nancy Holt, and many others. Itsgrounds simultaneously feel likea garden, a lakeside estate, and a barely tamed rain forest, with pieces ofsculpture almost hidden throughout."
