Further information
The Kubus extension, designed by architects :mlzd, was built between 2006 and 2009 and comprises storage rooms, a large exhibition hall and Classic Modernism office space. Its south-facing concrete skin impresses with its artistic, crystalline structure, while the north-facing all-glass façade reflects the palatial old building opposite. The exciting dialogue between old and new unfolds at a respectful distance. Experience the cube from the inside and gain exciting insights into the design and conceptual considerations that have shaped this iconic building.
