good eye...
there has long been debate in winnipeg about that...the WAG was designed 5 years before the washington gallery....there is some anecdotal evidence that Pei was aware for the building before he designed his.
most people in winnipeg assume that ours was inspired by the washington gallery but it is actually likely the other way around.
