Museum in Liverpool by 3XN

The website Trucdesign.com has published current images and information about the new British national museum, Museum of Liverpool. The project is designed by the Danish office 3XN, which won the invited competition in December 2004. Since June 4, 2006, the existing museum has been closed to the public and will welcome them in two years in a new guise when Liverpool becomes the European Capital of Culture. The entire building (including all exhibition spaces and an experimental theater) covering 10,000 m² will cost £65 million. The planned annual attendance is three-quarters of a million visitors. Info>
