10. MUSEUM DESIGN The Museum of Art was designed by Los Angeles architect James Langenheim. Former directors of lighting and design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, LeMar Terry and Stuart Silver, assisted in determining the sophisticated lighting requirements and the best functional use of space. Prominent personnel from such associations as the Smithsonian Institution, the Getty Museum, and the National Gallery of Art also contributed to the design and planning of the building. The objective of these designers was to construct an art museum that not only exhibited art but was itself a work of art. The building's articulated triangular shape provides a constant change in size, direction, form and light.
