museums and art galleries … the best of architecture and design
/Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen
ARoS, Aarhus
For architects and designers, to work for museums and art galleries can be the most significant, fulfilling and long-lasting commissions of their careers. Sometimes the most difficult and demanding but in many cases the most important commissions.
Certainly new buildings for new museums or galleries, particularly for national collections, as well as major extensions to existing buildings that may in themselves be famous or even a commission to remodel and refit what may be well-loved existing buildings is usually attended by high expectations and extensive publicity.
