[[Category:{{#switch:|File=Files|Template=Templates|articles}} in need of completion]]The Forsberg Gallery was a distinctive art building in Brockton Bay.

Description

Twenty-six stories tall, it was described as one of the more recognizable buildings of Downtown. The architectural style was some modernist style unfavorably compared to a game of late-stage Jenga, with each section formed in tempered glass with steel bars and girders providing the base skeleton.<ref name=":0">The Forsberg Gallery was twenty six stories tall and was one of the more recognizable buildings you could find downtown.  If I remembered right, it had been designed by Architecture students at the university, a few years ago.  I wasn’t really a fan of the design, which resembled the late stages of a game of Jenga, with each section formed in tempered glass with steel bars and girders providing the base skeleton.  The entire thing was illuminated by lights that changed according to the time of the evening.

In the blue-gray of the evening, the tower was pink and orange, echoing the sunset that had finished just an hour ago.  As the leap carried us over it, a pink tinted spotlight consumed my vision. - Excerpt from Tangle 6.5</ref>

The exterior was lighted with dynamically adaptive spotlights that could change colors according to the time of the evening.<ref name=":0" />

Story Start

A fundraiser was held in the Forsberg Gallery, on orders from Coil, it was crashed by The Undersiders to humiliate the Protectorate and PRT.<ref>A smooth, self assured voice broke the silence.  “I assumed, Tattletale, that when you asked to meet with me at the conclusion of your task, that you wouldn’t be bringing the heroes with you.”

A soldier in kevlar and a black balaclava was holding the stairwell door open for Coil.  Dressed in the same black bodysuit with the image of a white snake arranged across it, Coil joined us, walking slowly, his hands clasped behind his back, taking in the scene with an appraising eye.  Two soldiers followed behind him, guns in hand. - Excerpt from Tangle 6.7</ref> Insurence covered

Post-Leviathan

A month later the gallery was hit heavily by Shatterbird's scream, destroying much of the decorative and structural glass.<ref>The Forsberg Gallery.  The building had once been a pristine, albeit distressingly asymmetrical construction of glass and steel.  Now it was a shattered ruin.  There was little rhyme or reason to the design, and navigating was something of a chore. - Excerpt from Interlude 20.y</ref>

Post-Echidna

Three weeks after the Battle against Echidna all present criminal elements of Brockton Bay held a meeting inside the ruined building, where the Undersiders staked out their claim on Brockton Bay and delivered an ultimatum to all present.<ref>Interlude 20.y</ref>

The Undersiders and Accord held a second meeting in the wake of Taylor's surrender.<ref>Interlude 21.y</ref>
