While you’re here…

The image shows an outdoor area with a large, modern architectural canopy structure featuring multiple white, perforated, umbrella-like elements. The canopy provides shade for people gathered underneath. The area appears to be a public space, part of a museum. People are sitting on the grass and benches, engaging in various activities such as talking, relaxing, and enjoying the environment. The background includes tall buildings and a distant view of a domed structure, likely a capitol building, suggesting an urban setting. The scene is lively and vibrant, indicating a communal or social event.

Visit during a Blanton All Day event.
