Architect Renzo Piano's Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago has an expansive hallway that leads from Monroe on the wing's north side to the older sections of the museum on the south.  It is a grand space, with white walls and skylights, providing beautiful natural lighting.  People always look so elegant in this space, particularly when seated on the benches that line the walkway.
