3. Neufreistadt Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA)
The community-owned Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) is a small gem of a museum nestled into the quaint Alpine town of Neufreistadt. The clean, block architecture of this Museum, a sharp contrast to the surrounding fachwerk, provides the perfect backdrop for exhibits of excellent works of art by some of the best artists in SL.

4. Mexican Museum at the Instituto Espanol
Instituto Espanol is a vibrant virtual Spanish school and Mexican cultural center. Filled with treasures of Mexican architecture and history, our goal is to not only to provide our Spanish students with an immersive language experience but to extend that immersion to cultural topics as well. On the second floor or the replica build “El Castillo de Cortes”, lives Galería México. Under the direction of curator Owl Braveheart, the gallery boasts rotating expositions of Mexican, Latin American, and international artists.

5. The Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum
The FLWVM showcases the works of the great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, whose works influenced the direction of American architecture from his earliest work in the 1890s to the current day. There are models of five of his buildings, the Waterdome, museum building, museum store, Breeze (dance venue), and the winners of the most recent Wright-inspired building contest. Please plan to spend some time exploring the insides as well as the outsides of these spectacular builds, enjoy many photographs of his work, and possibly find a few items in the museum store to take hom. Welcome!
