A cylindrical, glass elevator stretches from the public lobby through the center of the building, past the second-floor holdings, and opens at the main gallery on the third floor. The sculpted, concrete façade and steel handrails of the staircase, which spirals around the elevator, add an industrial texture to the museum’s design. Both the central stairwell and elevator will offer visitors a glimpse at some of the pieces in the private collection stored on the second floor.
