By a modular changeable façade, the building itself becomes a piece of art. It will give artists from all over the world the opportunity to use the façade as a canvas, which will be changed periodically. The elements of the building façade can then be added to the collection of the museum as artworks.

In this museum, the anamorphic techniques of street art enter the architectural concept and allow for the art to form a symbiosis with architecture.

A high line connects the exhibition spaces and facilitates the simultaneous experience of the artworks – from far away and very close. The UN museum will also host a library, an auditorium for events, as well as twelve apartments for UN Artist within the Residence Program.

The museum forms a platform of international appeal for urban art. Hence, the art form ‘street art’ finds a representative platform and at the same time is accessible for visitors and residents of the quarter.  Image Courtesy © GRAFT
