The cubic form of the building is visually striking, with the transparent front facades offering a dialogue with the city. The physical and symbolical tie between the historical center and the new city is completed by the two parallel and oscillating curves of the bridge, an integral part of the project. The building’s interior spaces are fluid: the five levels of museum activity — exhibition and events areas, educational workshops, library — aren’t rigidly separated from one another, but are intimately interconnected. Adjoining the museum is an atelier house to host artists. At night the museum will offer passers-by a stunning view when the facades will act as screens for the projection of artworks especially commissioned by Museion.

Two massive projection surfaces exceeding 500 m2 are created by closing the louvered east / west oriented shades over the glass facade. This surface is ideally suited for video beamer projection. A central skylight located in the roof of the main building provides ample daylight. This form is repeated through lighted ceilings in the lower floors.
