Completed in 1978, the East Building stands in contrast to the neoclassical West Building, featuring a striking angular design and a vast glass atrium that floods the interior with natural light. The building is dedicated to the museum's contemporary art collection, which includes works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. The geometric structure, with its sharp lines and innovative use of space, makes the East Building a key cultural and architectural landmark on the National Mall, attracting visitors for both its art exhibits and its bold design.
