The windows and doors of the Grotto are ornamented with grills inset with glass and mirrors also designed by Niki de Saint Phalle
The spiral arrangement of the ornaments around the pillars in the entrance room symbolises Spirituality. The Mirror Room with its theme of Day and Life is a gallery of over forty figures representing almost every creative period of the artist. The Blue Room is dedicated to Night and the Cosmos; brightly-coloured female figures dancing in the deep blue heavens, reaching for the stars. The windows and doors of the Grotto are ornamented with grills inset with glass and mirrors also designed by Niki de Saint Phalle.
The octagonal central entrance hall and the two rooms leading from it are decorated with mosaics of coloured glass and mirrors, pebbles and many painted fibreglass figures on the theme of the life of man and woman.
