One of the coolest things about this museum is the landscape artwork. From the white intertwining tree trunk looking sculpture, to the huge marble ball outside the doors of the FIU Frost Art Museum it blew my mind. Since I am not used to a University setting, I forgot how schools take pride in their landscape. The real journey starts inside. The minute the walk in you are exposed to a lot of light and greeted by a nice lady in the front. I preceded upstairs to the East wing where I came across a room full of color.
