The buildings enrichment will be its facade of terracotta panels.

"The glaze is developed by artist Christine Jetten in keeping with the museum's craft tradition. The potential of the building will be revealed in bringing new vision and life. The panels are key feature of the design. Looking for 'life' in the building and the glaze." The Wall Street Journal
