Limestone Façade

bldg_ext_gs_angle.jpgThe 300-foot-long, 70-foot-tall exterior wall is rough cut native Indiana limestone.

These limestone pieces would normally have been discarded. Instead, they were brought here and individually arranged on site in a random ashlar pattern.

Additional limestone can be found in the Watanabe Family Gardens.

Using a pendulum, Jean Bernard Leon Foucault is remembered as the first man to demonstrate the rotation of the earth without using anything outside of the Earth, such as the sun or stars, as a point of reference. The museum houses a Foucault Pendulum.
