The gallery space is below ground level.
A partially hidden staircase leads to a circular door which opens into a cave-like space.
Though designed to display paintings, the cave has no straight walls, instead using a continuation of the curved dome structure which extends down to the floor.
The domes themselves are supported by irregularly shaped inclined columns, similar to those found in natural caves.
They are also said to resemble the trunks of trees.
The entire design is made up of circles and ellipses.
Light arrives though snouts, creating spots of light on the floor which move around as the day progresses, intended to create a mystic atmosphere.
