Cy Twombly Gallery

Renzo Piano-designed pavilion across the lawn from the main Menil, dedicated entirely to Cy Twombly. Same cypress siding, same diffused-skylight aesthetic.

What works here

Exterior corner shots under the oaks are the cleanest frame. Inside, the diffused ceiling daylight is gallery-grade — phone shots look like editorial. Verify per-room photo policy on entry.
