In the mood for painting? No problem! How about sculpture? You'll find it everywhere you look. Theater, performance art or film? The museum is committed to using its incredible space to show off all art – so don't be surprised if you catch an impromptu performance in the stairwell, or see a film projected onto the gallery ceiling.
