Space Information
The Glass Pavilion - the permanent exhibition hall - features The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais, masterpieces created by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The motif of the Pavilion is inspired also by Rodin’s Cathedral sculptured in 1908, an architectural rendition of the two hands coming together in an act of prayer. In the Glass Pavilion, the combination of glass panels alternating between transparent and translucent forms the outer skin and the outer wall, invigorating the gallery space with dynamic energy while diffusing natural light throughout the exhibition space, creating a soft atmosphere for the artworks.
