Was Built by John and Dominique Menil as place of meditation and a sanctuary. What makes this chapel unique is that the interior is lined and decorated with Mark Rothko's paintings. Walls contain Rothko's triptychs and some walls contain single paintings on canvas. Most of those paintings done were in the style of his black paintings which incorporated texture and hue effects. The black paintings were designed to give a mediative and relaxed effect to those who came to worship and pray.
