Bob Adams's Hall of Mirrors features twenty convex mirrors set flush into the walls of the hallway entrance to the Phoenix Theatre and the Phoenix Art Museum.  The mirrors flank both sides of the corridor and are lighted by twenty theatre spotlights.  By day, the mirrors distort and multiply their reflections of visitors.  By night, they become glowing orbs, guiding patrons to the theatre and museum.

The theatre spotlights can be fitted with color gels, patterns and images to alter the appearance of the mirrors and add visual elements to the hallway.​
