Eliel and Eero Saarinen; Cranbrook Art Museum and Library 1938-42.
 
These views clearly show the museum and library, linked by a propylaeum; in the lower photograph, the library is on the right and the museum to the left. The main gallery and north and south galleries are visible, with the 'Orpheous Fountain' by Carl Milles.  In the top photograph are other Milles sculptures: 'Europa and the Bull' and 'The Triton Pool'.  The copper roof in left corner is the Painting Department; studios, dorms, houses, museum and library are located close together as the Academy is a "working place for creative art" said Eliel Saarinen.
