Entrance hall

The entrance hall of the Musée des Confluences.
The Musée des Confluences is a museum in Lyon that wants to convey "global knowledge with a focus on natural sciences". The new building was opened on December 21, 2014. The building was designed by the Viennese architects Coop Himmelb (l) au, which had been enforced in an architectural competition in February 2001 against strong competition, including Steven Holl.

My OCD gives me uneasy feeling it's all leaning left :D

At 24mm I couldn't completely compensate for the falling lines because I would have had to crop the image too much, so I compromised on this subject. I straightened it as much as possible so that I had to crop as little as possible. In my opinion, however, the ambience of the entrance hall is still very appealing.
Thank you very much for your friendly and constructive comment.

Amazing!
I cannot imagine the construction challenges that were overcome to finish this.
Is that front section a total cantilever, or is there some overhead structural support not seen from this perspective?

you can look at a photo by Hanaa Turkistani showing the museum from the outside. I think if you see the picture you have a good idea of the construction. Thank you very much, Frank, for your comment and your interest in my photo. Greetings Herbert

Thanks for the answer and link. It's fascinating and mesmerizing! Images like this make me want to explore photographing Architectural Subjects more!

Don't put it off for a long time. Simply do it.
