The historic converges with modern at 21c Lexington. The boutique hotel and museum is located in the 100-year-old First National Bank Building on Main Street and exhibits a rotating and permanent collection of contemporary art. You don’t have to stay here to experience modern art in downtown Lexington, the museum experience is free and open to the public. Get a leg up on the next day’s forecast while you dine at the hotel’s restaurant, Lockbox – a Biegert & Bergström art installation changes color depending on the tomorrow’s weather.
