Description  

The design for Exploration Place Museum and Educational Center reshapes the river’s edge to create a one of a kind island exhibition pavilion facing a new public park and waterfront promenade.

Visitors to the Museum enter through a pavilion with a vaulted roof and cross a channel to the exhibition pavilion, surrounded by water and dedicated to the human experience on earth. The two wings of the building are unified by the concave and convex geometric roof forms.
