Last year, the bus stops around the museum were renovated as “Art Bus Shelters,” while the museum’s rooftop space will be renovated artistically and ecologically this year.

The winning work "Garden in Time" is a large structure of open canopy that consists of numerous pipes. The museum explained that it will reconstruct the rooftop space into a new space where the genuine art corresponds with nature.
