Before the Museum became a landmark, it began as an idea shaped by light and an extraordinary artistic vision. ✨

On Tuesday, April 28, This Being Human opens a new season with a conversation that steps inside the world of architecture and the imagination behind the Museum itself. Thoughtful, intimate, and full of insight, the episode offers a rare glimpse into the creative eye of someone who helped shape one of the city’s most distinctive cultural spaces.
