Completed in 1894 by McKim, Mead, and White, considered the godfathers of Gilded Age architecture, the palazzo-style building is pure ornamental splendor: a preponderance of marble, Corinthian columns, and gilded ceilings.
The Hall's grand opening will take place in September with a new exhibition of sculptures by Nick Cave, but it soft launches tonight with Broken Spectre, a video installation by Richard Mosse that chronicles the destruction of the Amazon at the hands of greed and corruption.
