Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome

The concept of the new meuseum under the Arch is very different. Instead of approaching through a narrow gorge at the monument's feet, visitors walk down a gentle slope from downtown to a sweeping curved glass entrance that seems to naturally pull you in from the city. What you might call a lobby is a bit barren, three levels of white down to the exhibits themselves. There may be additions before the general public opening.
