This design of this conceptual museum gallery challenges the internalization of the typical museum with a selectively filtered public hierarchy.

The museum is comprised entirely of transparent glass. Two separate layers of inversely polarised glass create varied layers of transparency between the museum and the city.

It is impossible to see through two consecutive layers of inversely polarised glass. You can see through one layer, but the second will appear blacked-out. From between the two layers, both panes will appear transparent.

Pedestrians passing by are able to see museum visitors observing art, but not the works themselves. This clearly visible activity will enhance vibrancy of the streetscape, while also enticing the public to enter the museum. From the innermost gallery, the street is no longer visible- enhancing the apex of the museum experience.
