A closer look is a choreographic tour that allows the visitor to experience the spaces differently and shows beauty in unexpected places in the museum.
As a new route unfolds, careful coincidences invite you to discover new ways of looking. Visitors are guided into an attentive trajectory of the gaze, while you keep looking for the next thing, like a dot-to-dot game.
