You may have experienced the beautiful light show that illumiates the Center's windows at night. Created by New york artist Robert Wogan, this public art project has helped bring this landmark building back to life. See images of the building at night and learn more about Robert Wogan.

We have begun Phase IV of our renovations. Here are some views of the interior taken before we closed for filming Public Enemies in 2008.
