acaba por ver anuladas sus características

Spanish to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama Exhibition space
La propia historia de la sala, inaugurada en 2004 como espacio de proyectos para creadores gallegos, anima a ampliar el significado de un lugar emplazado arquitectónicamente ‘fuera’ del museo, en un espacio público exento que, por ‘contaminación’ y ‘connotación’, **acaba por ver anuladas sus características** y por transformarse en el clásico cubo blanco que aísla la obra de su entorno inmediato.

Thanks, Mike. I'm thinking of mailing you for some advice; I hope that's OK
agree Kate Major Patience : Yeah. They're looking to create a space 'outside' the museum, as the museum is a public space that is eventually devoid of its own charm, only serving to isolate art in a white box ...something like that...
