The Museum is home to an open-span exhibition space, mezzanine, black-box, and jewel-box galleries that accommodate a variety of artistic scales and mediums. The main gallery space is defined by an indirectly illuminated ceiling that provides a layer of ambient light reflected from the scalloped stretched fabric as well as a layer of light from busrun lighting track heads that are partially concealed from view. A roof terrace can be configured for installations, a sculpture garden, film screenings, or events. The lighting design incorporates sculptural pole lighting with adjustable heads, illuminated benches, and a perimeter of illuminated vegetation.
