The population is about 114,000, and almost half are students or otherwise employed at the University. This former industrial center now has an economy mainly based on University and other service economy pursuits. Ann Arbor real estate is mixed together with the University throughout the city. Due to the strong component of medical and biological sciences at the University, a large number of biotechnology companies have set up in Ann Arbor. The University of Michigan employs approximately 30,000 workers, including about 7,500 in the medical center.
Several Museums and cultural attractions are located at the University. The Detroit Observatory, named after a group of Detroit donators to the University, houses original astronomical instruments from 1854. It is opened twice a month for tours. The University of Michigan Art Museum has extensive American painting collections. It includes a portrait of Rembrandt Peale, a Winslow Homer seascape and Hudson River School landscapes. Several performing arts groups and facilities are on the university's campus. For example there is a Residential College players group that puts on theatre performances.
