Until now, the prominent features of Roanoke's skyline have been neon: a Dr Pepper sign, a giant star atop Mill Mountain and an animated coffee pot that pours its contents into a cup. Not far away, "Jesus Saves" glows in red from a hilltop church. But there is a new addition under construction in this old railroad city in the mountains of western Virginia: a $66 million contemporary art museum of steel, patinated zinc and glass under construction on a prominent downtown site amid 1920s-era brick facades.
