This catalogue accompanies the exhibition ‘Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts, Projects, Buildings‘. It presents the most important trends in museum architecture, illustrated by 27 of the world’s leading museum building projects realized since the turn of the century, thereby documenting the increasing international exchange. All projects are represented by a carefully made selection of sketches and architectural plans, photographs and models, as well as multimedia displays.
