Description

The reinstallation spans the museum's bi-level building and includes 22-ft-tall exhibition panels, curved walls, custom millwork for the lobby entrance, and a dichroic vinyl facade installation on the exterior that shifts color with sunlight and viewing angle. The Rose Art Museum also presented the concurrent temporary exhibition "Frida Kahlo: POSE" within the same design framework.
