Heavy. The weight of history weighs heavy within a space bounded by walls of a variety of textures and an ornate ceiling; a decadence that is consistent with the national museum former life as a residence for royalty. Though within the confines of such stately interiors of Italian styling the air can breathe thick, there is ample space born from efficient design that utilises the art to suppress the feeling of dreadful void, filling the hole with a luscious ambience that serves the population of inspired imagination.
