Overall view, front; Time at the Museum is a work in which Robert Schelling fuses spiritually charged archaic architectural and geometric forms to create a unique whole. Sacred symbols are taken from varied cultures and integrated by the artist to create a new object of contemplation. The multi-tiered base is reminiscent of ancient Mayan, or Egyptian, pyramids, and the three extended arms capped with tool-like endings might refer to an act of creation or destruction.
