The dynamic triangular shaped Contemporary Arts Museum consists of 17,500 square feet of exhibit space. The steel and concrete museum's slotted entrance opens into an intruiging wedge-shaped lobby. The spacious interior exhibit areas are entirely lit artificially. Diagonal forms also dominate the interior spaces through placement of walls, partitions, and ceiling grids. Mies van der Rohe's formal Museum of Fine Arts is also an important landmark and complements the CAM close by.
