Modern Era

The East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, asks its visitors to physically leave the traditional world of art showcased on the walls of the neo-classically designed National Gallery and cross over into IM Pei’s modern space, devoted to a radically different era of modern and contemporary art. The strong visual message of the architecture embodies this new interior world.

Architect: IM Pei
