The corridor
Doors close to the public and the house lights drop two stops. You walk in on the service side, past the crates that never make it to the label.
Four hours, four rooms, one visitor at a time
The collection is lit for the day. After hours it is lit for the eye: lower lux, longer dwell, and a route that never doubles back on itself.

The long wall
Eleven metres of a single hanging, read left to right at walking pace. The guide says nothing for the first four minutes.
23:30
The vitrine
Glass, and behind it the working drawings — the parts of the collection that were never meant to be finished, let alone shown.
01:00
The last light
One room, one work, the lamp on a timer. When it goes, the night is over and you leave the way the night staff leave.
