Vast columns in the museum building support the three-story level, with ramps that provide passage to six bays that display relics, ancient kilns and manufacturing processes of Jin Zhuan (金砖) or “Golden Bricks” that paved the floors of the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Ming Tombs. Bricks that range over many millennia are used throughout the narrative experience, which culminates into the spiral staircase lit by natural light from an exposed ceiling, leading visitors to a rooftop for special exhibitions, public programming and workshops.
