An der Decke hängt ein großes, rotes Kunstwerk von Hans Kupelwieser.
Es sieht aus wie zerknittertes Papier oder glänzender Stoff,
wurde aber aus Aluminium gemacht.

An der hinteren Wand gibt es viele runde Fenster – sie sehen aus wie Bullaugen.
Dahinter befinden sind kleine, kostbare Objekte aus der Sammlung von Heidi Horten.

Diese Vitrinenwand wurde von Markus Schinwald entworfen.
Auch die rosa Sitzmöbel in der Mitte des Raums gehören zu seinem Konzept.
Sie laden ein, sich hinzusetzen, zu schauen und zu entspannen.

Die Wände sind mit großen Stoffbildern bedeckt,
die an ein altes Café oder Schlosszimmer erinnern.
