About

The pale barley-green roof revealed atop the hill creates a stillness as though caught within a single landscape painting. Natural light flowing down beneath the roof softly wraps around the exhibition spaces stacked layer upon layer, and shadows brush across the ground with every visitor's step. Here, as if tracing the flow of Western art, moments hidden throughout invite you to pause, if only once. Under the carefully arranged lighting, visitors find themselves unable to look away from the artist's gaze, even for a moment.
