From the Architects:
The competition sitefor the Museum of History in Bavaria takes advantage of a privileged position in the city of Regensburg, UNESCO World Heritage Site; it is both part of a unique built environment with a medieval character while facing the majestic river Danube. The volume of theMuseum is crossed at its lower levels by a large portico in order to create a stepped passage that leads gently passer-by towards an urban space to another. It is used in a bidirectional manner; it attracts to the river landscape and invites to discover the city. With its precise urban position and strong stature, the Museum is an undeniable attraction with a firmly institutional character.
