After Hours – Grohmann Museum

Took this photo last night shortly before leaving work. The galleries were closed but were illuminated by the rays of evening sunlight coming through the atrium. I especially liked how the sculpture on the left seemed to float in the darkness like a ghostly apparition.

Here is the same scene in a photo I took just this morning. Looks really different during the day!

And here is a better view of that sculpture.
