A three quarter circle construction assembled from 15 separate sections. The interior face covered in red linen fabric, with natural wood skirting and cove. There was a top structure that overhung the interior face by 30cm. In this structure were lights that illuminated the interior surface. There were six cabinets inset into the walls, each cabinet containing a constructed device that projected a photographic image of a letter of the word 'museum'. The external structure displayed the timber, electric conduit and fans that lay behind the surface.
