Museum in the Dock - Bjarke Ingels Group BIG

How does one breathe new life into an abandoned dry dock? BIG architects have designed an extraordinary museum to revive Denmark’s proud maritime history. The Danish Maritime Museum will fit into a unique historical and spatial context between one of Denmark’s most important buildings - the world-famous Kronborg Castle - and a new, ambitious cultural centre. In order to preserve the dock as an open, outdoor space, BIG has placed the museum underground, just outside the wall of a dry dock in a formerly abandoned shipyard.
