The eclectic amalgam of buildings forming the city’s foremost museum welcomes a fragmented volume that rises on the border of the park and traces the new exhibition route.
The new wing attaches itself to the academic composition to close it off, but its sculptural configuration allows uninterrupted linkage between the park and the cour d’honneur of the 19th-century building.
In contrast to the original building’s regionalist ornamentation, evoking different periods of Swiss history, the extension adopts the austere expression of raw concrete as the sole material resource.
