Musée d’Orsay
- Large open area
- Built in furniture to rest and observe artwork
- Sculpture gallery intertwined with walkway
- Upper sculpture galleries have very thick & tall, possibly >1.5m, parapet walls with tops slopped in towards seats at angle
- They prevent people from leaning over and dropping things. Also makes it feel more like a room rather than open to the void and cavernous hall
- Walkways between separate upper areas/terraces
- Underneath terraces are some of the painting galleries
- Mainly artificial light in painting rooms but does have openings along shared edge with main sculpture gallery
- Detailed tops of walls
- Climate control plays a big part in architecture. eg. Air con blades running down main alley
- Blade walls supporting stairs to walkways
- Large open spaces for sculpture
