DESCRIZIONE |

|
|

|
| New attraction |
|
|
|
 Founded in 1912, the National Heritage Museum is splendidly situated in the rolling landscape of the woods near Arnhem. The museum park comprises 44 hectares and contains dwellings from different periods and regions. The museum has its own collection of historical clothing and jewellery, but lacked exhibition space. In order to make visiting the museum less dependent on the weather, Mecanoo was asked to design not only an indoor exhibition space, but also an entrance pavilion. In addition, the museum wanted to create a new attraction, the ‘HollandRama’, a multimedia show introducing the objects to be seen in the park. |

| Boulder and a 143-metre-long wall |
|
|
|
 The landscape was taken as the starting point for the design. The visitor is led over a path of recycled clinkers past a mysterious egg-shaped building about 13 metres high. The building raises a lot of questions. Is it really an egg? A boulder perhaps? Or are we dealing here with something extraterrestrial? You’re not given an answer, for there’s no entrance to be found. The path of clinkers leads the visitor on to the entrance in a 143-metre-long wall cutting across the landscape. The wall is constructed from a mosaic of old cobblestones and bricks and forms the gate to the National Heritage Museum. Behind this unfolds a spacious, transparent entrance hall with a view of the open meadow of the outdoor museum. Because of the differences of level, the hall adapts itself in a natural way to the rolling landscape. |

| Hinge point |
|
|
|
 The glass hall is the hinge point in the design. It not only forms the entrance to the park but it also houses various facilities. On the ground floor one can visit the museum shop, the coffee shop, the knowledge centre or the auditorium. At the next lower level are two spaces that accommodate changing exhibitions as well as a semi-permanent display of clothing and jewellery from the museum’s own collection. The mystery of the egg-shaped building is solved when the visitor enters a tunnel that eventually leads to a rotating panorama theatre where the multimedia show takes place. With the aid of virtual reality, animations, film, sound and odour effects, historical objects are brought to life. |
