Sert's design uses concrete, native stone and small bricks, and his plan stretches the museum along the irregular curves and rises of the hill. Rooms are devoted to works of different artists, and the sherbet is provided by "reposing spaces" between galleries, where visitors can "wash their eyes" of Chagall, say, before attacking Kandinsky.
