The exterior of the gallery space. A new reconstruction
of the City Gate (printed on large sheets of paper) was hung inside the
front windows of the gallery [click image to view gate artwork]. In addition
to the decorative effect, this print controlled the quantity of light
entering the gallery, an essential concern for conservation of the artefacts
and Woodbridge drawings as well as for viewing of the movie on the three-panel
theater.
