A tank of water sat outside of the gallery. Water from it was pumped into the drop ceiling inside, eventually producing a hole in one of the ceiling tiles, through which the water dripped into a series of buckets on the floor 20' below. It was the responsibility of the gallery attendant to complete the water's cycle by periodically empty these floor buckets back into the tank outside.
