It's a delight to the eye. You first come across the glass roof drawn up broadly, the water basin underneath, and you believe the water would flow into the building's interior in an unobstructed manner - an ingenious detail lets the glass front seem to drop into the water.

Barely passing through the porch, you find yourself in the center, where everything is overlapping and a multitude of orientations and impressions are offered. The exhibition area below, on the left side, the information and sales desk to the right, and behind, the partition to the stockroom. You notice that you're on the mezzanine floor, partly below the office wing, from which you can see the entire space above and below. The floor level is divided in a multitude of steps and pedestals, literally beckoning to come and look around. At any rate, this space is fascinating and would make a good gallery for sculptures".
