Eye-catching entrance hall Van Gogh Museum delivered on time and on budget
For the new entrance building of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam the Japanese architecture studio Kisho Kurokawa Architects & Associates made a sketch.
This broad outline consisted of completing the elliptical wing building which the bureau has already realized in 1999.
This idea was developed by Hans van Heeswijk architects, materialized and realized.
The building consists of an all-glass roof, which is put over the existing, sunken pond. From a new entrance, right on the Museumplein, this new, deepened entrance foyer of the museum reached.
Here are a cloakroom, a museum shop, counters and plumbing. From the foyer, the two wings to reach the museum, the Rietveld Building of the permanent collection of Van Gogh and the Kurokawavleugel for temporary exhibitions. The entrance building is September 5 open to the public. What was until then a somber piece Museum is now an inviting place orientation.
