We went to see the Kaldor exhibit at this museum. He funds exhibitions of public art in public spaces. They are usually large scale and hard to miss. He has had artists drape things like a piece of the coast of australia. People don't have to go to the "art" because the art is in their public space and they can react to it however they feel.
Look at the blue structure outside the museum. It is the newest piece of public art. When you go up the stairs into it it is the top of the statue that sits outside the museum. See the photo above. The artist wanted you to see the statue from a whole different perspective as it has been there since 1920 or so and most people don't see it anymore. There were 2 boxes that were rooms and in the other one the TV console had the head of a horse and the coffee table had a man's head on it.
