Three open-concept main floor galleries include a central clerestory with 22-foot ceilings and an adjacent light-tight environment for multi-media installations. The second floor boasts two uniquely-configured, multi-purpose spaces, and a lecture room. The Gallery Shop is located next to the information desk on the main floor.
