Plant, Dichotomy, Stairwell

It seems very much to me that whoever planted the vase in the stairwell was either trying too hard to impress the VIPs who oft visited the museum, was really bad at interior decor, or just a wannabe artist trying to take a stab at the whole plants and marble motif. Still, I won't begrudge a perfect photo opportunity.

The fact that the better part of the stairwell was illuminated by an open skylight lent sufficient natural lighting to emphasize certain aspects of the plant, and to better the visual.
