The proposal of an alternative type of museum takes the given characteristics of the side, which are the train rails, the bus parking, the west highway as well as the planned subway extension, and emphasizes their presence in stead of hiding them. The infrastructure of the side becomes the exposition of the museum and the museum becomes simultaneously a part of the infrastructure, in the form of a station linking all transport systems with each other.
