The 3 galleries/exhibits on this floor are:
1. Works by Robert Rauschenberg - The inventiveness, wit, range, and sense of humanity made Rauschenberg one of the most important and influential American artists of the past half century.

He worked in a variety of mediums including photography, sculpture, silk screening, and electronics.
