Moesgård Museum Building
Location: Århus, Jylland, Danmark
Design: Henning Larsen Architects
e-architect director Isabelle Lomholt visited (on 29 Mar) the new Moesgård Museum Extension designed by Henning Larsen Architects:
Driving down the tree lined avenue towards Moesgård, it would be fair to say, my expectations were high. I have missed and loved this place in equal measures for years. In my early childhood my mother would drive my sister and me here in our rusty Renault 4, and we would spend afternoons looking at the reconstructed Stone-age and Iron-age dwellings, sometimes there would also be a travelling exhibition, and there would always be The Grauballe Man, a bog body of a man dating from the late 3rd century BC, early Germanic Iron Age.
This was always a magic place. The museum was housed in the red brick barn buildings of what used to be Moesgård Mansion. I felt a slight apprehension when hearing of the new Henning Larsen Architects home for Moesgård, but I have to admit after my all too short external visit there yesterday – I am delighted, and truly look forward to spending a day or two exploring both the outside and inside of this massive unobtrusive building, and of course to say hello to my old friend The Grauballe Man again.
A new museum building is presently under construction at Moesgård and will open in autumn 2014.
From 1st October 2012 until autumn 2014 the exhibitions at Moesgård Museum in Højbjerg will be closed to allow for preparations and relocation to the new museum building. However, you can visit Odder Museum and the Viking Museum in Aarhus instead.
In 2011, Moesgård Museum, which was already responsible for the Viking Museum in Aarhus, merged with Odder Museum – and thus Moesgård Museum is now a museum located at three sites.

Moesgård Museum Extension
Århus, Denmark
Design: Henning Larsen Architects
The rectangularly shaped roof plane seems to grow out of the landscape and during summer it will form an area for picnics, barbeques, lectures and traditional Midsummer Day’s bonfires.
The interior of the Moesgård Museum Extension building is designed like a varied terraced landscape inspired by archaeological excavations gradually unearthing the layers of history and exposing lost cities. The visitor can move through a vivid sequence of exhibitions and scientific experiments – like a traveller in time and space.
With its bright courtyard gardens, terraces and small cave-like “houses-in-the-house”, the Moesgård Museum Extension will invite various new and alternative kinds of exhibitions. The heart of the building is the foyer with a café and outdoor service. From the foyer, the terraced underworld opens up to the light from the roof garden and the impressive view of the Aarhus Bay.
