A recent visit to this celebrated New York museum pointed out the near futility of wayfinding in round spaces. Adding to the challenge, the open circular floors are a continuous flowing ramp, so no finite distinction between levels exists. The six levels look identical from every angle so the only differentiation comes from the art on display – but on this visit, the art was boringly similar level to level.
However, this is one place where the dramatic architectural experience makes up for any shortfall in orientation. Just don’t try agreeing to meet someone on Level 4.
