Renovations to the Schiele Museum Lobby consisted of two components: a new ticketing and information desk and a new planetarium entry featuring a T-Rex skeleton. Care was taken in choosing materials from sustainable sources for both components. The undulating canopy form evokes a forest canopy and provides a dynamic backdrop for the featured T-Rex.
