Museum Buildings : Architecture
Major Architecture Projects from around the world
Museum BuildingsWe've selected what we feel are the key examples of Museum Buildings. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the world. The focus is on contemporary buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome. We have 6 pages of Museum Buildings selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

In addition, new underground parking and facilities for tour buses are located adjacent to a new entrance piazza. The overall program quadruples the permanent exhibition space. Museum of Handcraft Paper, Gaoligong, China Design: Trace Architecture Office  photo : AKAA Museum of Handcraft Paper - 1 May 2013 The museum building is located close to a village at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain, in the province of Yunnan, an area of significant Muslim presence. It provides exhibition space for ancient paper craft and artefacts produced locally. Design Museum Holon, Tel Aviv, Israel - review + photos by e-architect editor Adrian Welch Design: Ron Arad  image © DMH Design Museum Holon - 13 May 2013 The building shows exhibitions about Israeli design, and on our visit was showing bathing suits and related designs. The structure is located on the edge of the traditional city centre, in a cultural quarter which is yet to complete. The building appears as an organic form, but within it is essentially formed by a large upper and a small lower gallery, both rectilinear. As a group we discussed the anomaly of billowing coloured swirls outside and the restrained white spaces within. The spaces might allow curatorial flexibility but the fact that their perimeter wasn't reflected externally concerned us architect visitors as we have all been taught that form should be 'honest' and reflect the form of the space held within. Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel Design: various architects  photo : Cecilia Koren Israel Museum - 13 May 2013 The Israel Museum opened in 1965, in a Modernist complex nestled on the Judean Hills near The Knesset - the national parliament building - and the Hebrew University. Since that time, it has become the most eminent cultural institution in the region and one of the leading art and archaeology museums in the world, with collections growing exponentially over the past four decades. Now 45 years later, the museum has reopened after a $100 million expansion and renovation. UC Davis Art Museum, California, USA Design: SO – IL  image from architect UC Davis Art Museum - 2 May 2013 The new Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at the University of California, Davis, will be created by a team of architects and builders intent on redefining the university museum and fostering a new conversation in the arts. National Maritime Museum Tianjin, north east China Design: HAO + AI  image from architect National Maritime Museum Tianjin - 19 Apr 2013 The proposal for the new National Maritime Museum is situated in Northern China, outside the city of Tianjin. The museum is designed to house both new and old maritime items with a focus on celebrating the historical achievements of Chinese naval exploration through out time. HAO and AI, along with three other teams, have been invited to participate in the National Maritime Museum competition, situated outside the city of Tianjin in Northern China. China Wood Sculpture Museum, Harbin, northern China Design: MAD Architects  photo : Iwan Baan China Wood Sculpture Museum Building - 10 Apr 2013 MAD Architects unveiled the completed China Wood Sculpture Museum located in Harbin, China. The 200-meter long building, sheathed in metal, sits nestled in a densely residential area, adding a cultural and surreal essence to the surrounding urban context. Appearing so evident amidst a thriving metropolitan district of Harbin, the China Wood Sculpture Museum sits as a locational anomaly, seemingly out of place, surrounded by a densely populated Chinese-style neighborhood and residential complexes. Sogn & Fjordane Art Museum, Førde, Norway C. F. Møller  picture : Oddleiv Apneseth Sogn & Fjordane Art Museum - 19 Sep 2012 The small Norwegian town of Førde draws its qualities from its interaction with the surrounding mountains, which are visible everywhere, and from Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on the European mainland, which lies in close proximity to the town. The town's new museum, Sogn & Fjordane Kunstmuseum also draws upon the distinctive landscape for its architectural expression: the museum building lies like a crystal-clear block of ice that has slid down from the surrounding mountains. Žanis Lipke Memorial Museum, Latvia Design: ZAIGAS GAILES BIROJS  picture : Ansis Starks Žanis Lipke Memorial Museum - 13 Aug 2012 During the occupation of Latvia by Nazi Germany (1941–1945) more than 60 000 Jews were murdered in concentration camps. Despite some odious figures of Latvian antisemites, other Latvians stood against the Nazi antisemitic policies and tried to save local Jews from execution. The most prominent Latvian saviors of Jews were Mr. Žanis and Mrs. Johanna Lipke – a poor working class couple who hid away more than 50 Jews that Žanis had managed to cheat out of the Riga Ghetto. Samaranch Memorial Museum, Tianjin, China Architect: HAO - Holm Architecture Office  image from architects Samaranch Memorial Museum Building - 13 Aug 2012 The HAO / Holm Architecture Office + Archiland Beijing design for the Samaranch Memorial Museum in Tianjin, China is under construction.
