Presentazione generale
Grand Rapids
Art, architecture and gardens in a city crossed by the Grand River.
Frederik Meijer Gardens, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Meyer May House give the most telling landmarks of Grand Rapids. Together, they form a destination where urban life, riverscapes and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and landscape
Frederik Meijer Gardens
Frederik Meijer Gardens combines greenhouses, theme gardens and outdoor sculptures, with works that arise between basins, lawns and groves. The Japanese garden, tropical veranda and monumental facilities create sharp changes in atmosphere over the course of the day. The site works particularly well for travellers who want to combine art and landscape without choosing between the two.
Culture and heritage
Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum
The Presidential Museum Gerald R. Ford links the memory of the Presidency to a precise historical path around the figure of Ford. The spaces and exhibitions organize the period 1974-1977 with sobriety, without the theatricalization of the narrative. The place gives a clear civic density to the Grand Rapids.
Culture and heritage
Meyer May House
The Meyer May House shows a copy of Frank Lloyd Wright in a residential setting of Heritage Hill, with Prairie style details that are legible from inside and outside. The house gives a clear idea of the domestic space thought as composition. It is a refined stop between history and architecture.
