Concepts, Projects, Buildings
‘Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts, Projects, Buildings’ is a follow-up exhibition of the highly successful exhibition ‘Museums for a New Millennium: Concepts, Projects, Buildings’, which travelled to numerous museums throughout Europe, North America, Japan and Korea.
This exhibition is a reflection on the undiminished museum building boom since 2000, in the construction of new museums and in the renovation and expansion of existing institutions.

‘Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts, Projects, Buildings’ 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.
A highlight in the itinerary as well as in the exhibition itself is the Museum Island in Berlin, or to be more precise, the Pergamon Museum. The Museum Island is the most ambitious and challenging museum project to date in Europe in the 21st century, and therefore, a most suitable host location for the exhibition.
