Inside, some areas of floor have been removed to make space for the exhibitions held there. In the museum's spare, transparent interior concrete predominates together with an element of steel and glass. On the roof is an office penthouse designed as a flattened, gleaming white cylinder on stilts so that it seems to float clear of the roof.
