Listen, I really think it’s going to be something quite extraordinary. Very spacious, bright, really well arranged, with no hidden corners, you know. There will be fine lighting, really brilliant, that will clearly show up all those disordered objects.
The fact is, everything will be simple, with no mysteries and nothing soul-disturbing, you know. Wonderful! Really very beautiful – very beautiful – very beautiful, and very large. Quite extraordinary! It will be cool in there too, with an immense silence.
My God, how can I describe to you the wonderful colors! You see many things are quite hard to describe, especially because they’ll be used in such a new way. … You see, there’ll be a lot of marvelous things, and yet it will look almost empty, it will be so big and so beautiful… How fine it will be… just spending the whole day doing nothing, without working or anything… You know, just great… (Ambasz, 234)
