Main Lobby And Maytag Reflecting Pool

The 2,000 square foot lobby, designed by Eliel Saarinen and featuring travertine floors and oak paneled walls, is adjacent to the galleries. The lobby is sun soaked during the early evening hours, by the dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that provide access to the courtyard. The Bookey Family Courtyard features lit trees, a granite reflecting pool, and outdoor sculptures by Carl Milles and Scott Burton, and is surrounded by the architecture of Eliel Saarinen, I. M. Pei, and Richard Meier. It is the perfect space to begin your evening with passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails or dance the night away underneath the stars. Maytag Reflecting Pool and The Bookey Family Courtyard are available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday evening
