Wroclaw Museum Competition

Wroclaw Museum Competition

Various Architects' registration approved

Various Architects AS has registered and qualified to enter the international architectural competition for The Wroclaw Contemporary Musuem in Wroclaw, Poland.

 

The proposed name is a departure from the traditional term "art museum", aimed at highlighting the contemporary nature of the intended purposes of the museum. It harks back to the original concept of a museum as a Home of the Muses (including two contemporary muses – cinema and communication – in addition to the nine muses of classical mythology). At the same time, the name sidesteps the kind of policy disputes that can arise over the terms "contemporary art" or "modern art".

 

The proposed ca. 20,000 m2 museum program includes: Exhibition space of about 4500 m2, a high multi-functional entry area, a multimedia club of about 600 m2, high-ceilinged storage space of about 3000 m2, about 7500 m2 for other activities and administration.

 

Due to the anonymous nature of the competition no images or  details of our design can be posted until after the announcement of winners on October 3, 2008. Competition entries must be submitted by September 10.
