UPPER MEZZANINE LEVEL

The Mezzanine

Food is one of the most exciting and enriching ways for people to become introduced to new cultures, and it is common across many cultures to participate in discussion with others at the table. Therefore, a teaching kitchen is incorporated to encourage people to share their experiences of the museum over a meal.

Establish Connections

The Soffit on the museum was designed to be reflective for two main reasons. The first was to allow pedestrians to glance up and see activity occurring atop the museum and garner interest in exploring. The second was to support the essence of the museum about establishing connections, visual in this case, with people who they are unfamiliar with. Therefore, the museum always feels connected to the city as the city feels connected to the museum.
