MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART
MCA MUSEUM
AB design studio turned a traditional museum reception space into a flexible arts environment by redefining the typical gallery structure. The architects removed existing reception barriers, including the front desk, to blur the boundaries between entry and gallery.
The multi-purpose space provides activities and resources for making artwork, as well as for research and exploration, to help visitors attain an in-depth understanding of current exhibitions.
