The Munch Museum and the Stenersen Museum Collections

摘要

The Akerselva's estuary is being transformed into a new cultural forum on the docks: the opera, the museum and the park are bringing the city to the fjord, like three fingers reaching for the infinite landscape. A bridge from the park to the entrance of the museum transforms the natural estuary situation into a highly urban scene, and offers a continuation of the enchanting promenade across the opera's roof, regularly punctuated with leisure facilities and leading further along the shore of Bjorvika. Like a harbor dock re-conquered by nature, the park floats like a wild peninsula in the fjord, just between the opera and the museum. It is laid out with cultivated plants, reminiscent of 19th-century parks: loose tree rows respond to the tilted pillars of the museum, emphasize the length of the park and stage the beautiful view into the fjord.
