The three secondary-color galleries (orange, green, purple) are smaller, and serve as transition spaces between the primary colors.
The finale brings all the colors into play and launches visitors out into the world with questions, ideas, and conversation.

The largest dimensional scrim wall is 800_G3, measuring approximately 20’ wide by 10’ deep, with a radius of 9'.
Gallery Divider System: This exhibition uses 20 gallery-specific, printed scrim structures to divide the exhibition space into nine galleries. 6 scrims are banners with single-dimension structure and banner boxes; 14 scrims are 12” deep aluminum frames. In addition to the printed scrims, there are 12 gallery-specific fabric scrims that bring texture and color to the space. The yellow and blue fabric scrims can be used to divide galleries or emphasize specific cases; the red fabric scrims are part of the red throne element, and should remain in that grouping.
