Art and architecture buffs won't want to miss this edgy, contemporary visual arts gallery housed in a freestanding American Gothic Revival mansion in the NoLi neighborhood, one of only five such structures left in the USA. The cutting-edge exhibitions, around six per year, are quite provocative by Lexington standards. Playful modern sculptures dot the grounds.
