The tubes vary in size from several inches to 10 feet high and will be interlocked to create three dynamic interconnected, domed chambers.

The tubes feature a reflective silver exterior and vivid magenta interior, creating a spectacular visual contrast with the Museum’s historic nineteenth-century interior and colossal Corinthian columns.
