    • Tucked into the northwest corner of the plaza, the relatively austere gallery occupies three levels of a partially restored 18th-century townhouse mansion. It holds temporary exhibitions of both renowned and emerging artists, with a focus on experimental art. The center’s Information and Documentation Department hosts valuable physical and digital archives of contemporary visual art.
