The building is comprised of two main components that showcase the innovative and artistic approach of this design. A box shaped structure made of cast-in-place concrete that serves as the base of the building are where lectures, events and workshops can take place, where floating above a two story free form exhibition made of stainless steel shingles which clad its rounded wooden structure exists.

The museum surrounds a circular atrium with a spiral staircase where visitors can view the exhibition from many different angles. The exhibition includes a variety of objects and paintings relating to the history and production of bread. A skylight naturally illuminates the inside of the building. From the outside, the unique structure resembles a metallic spiraling loaf of bread seemingly rising up as if it were baking in an oven.
