Museum extension

The new extension to the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia has opened. The original building to the left (below) is the original Maritime Services Building. The extension to the right, as is patently obvious, is of a very different style.

From the inside the two buildings appear to mesh quite well and at some points the external wall of the old building forms sections of internal wall for the new building.

The inside of the new entrance provides a spectacular glimpse of Circular Quay.

One of the elevators also has a spectacular outlook on the Quay, reflected in part on the mirrored side wall. The wall of the older building can be seen to the right.

There is an attractive indoor/outdoor cafe which also takes advantage of the view.

There is only one sculpture on the Sculpture Terrace alongside the cafe. I imagine there will be more to come.
