FORARE takes the form of an endless fluid flow of triangles creating exciting beautiful spaces for exhibition with every peak and trough.

In addition, alterations were made to the entrance and exit of the museum, using modern materials and structures to turn the traditional gallery into a open, contemporary exhibition space.
