The old Coliseum to the north of the Grand Plaza received new facades by Dahl, with a tall central arch and stepped forms relating it to the new buildings along both sides of the Esplanade of State. The concrete and plaster sculpture, Spirit of the Centennial (1936), was designed by Raoul Josset and carved by José Martin. The mural within the arch was by Carlo Ciampaglia. The cavernous interior was renovated in 2000 as The Women’s Museum, the first national museum of women’s history, which closed in 2011 after years of financial difficulties.
