Article source: Henning Larsen Architects The Arne Haugen Sørensen Museum is now officially open. An inviting pavilion in close connection to the surrounding nature. The building is an extension to Vestjyllands Kunstpavillon in Videbæk, Denmark. A donation of 70 works of art from the Danish artist Arne Haugen Sørensen made it possible for Vestjyllands Kunstpavillon to expand the Kunstpavillon with further 400 m2 in connection to the existing pavillon. Having designed the first building, we re-established the collaboration with the museum and designed an extension that brings new life into the architecture while maintaining the original atmosphere and poetry. It was a focal point in the design of the extension to continue the architectural vision from the first building to create a cohesion and one unity.  Image Courtesy © Henning Larsen/Kirstine Mengel

An open space between the interior and the open façade with oblique elements.

The exhibit room is designed to support the art in the best possible way with a substantial overhead light of daylight creating the right contrast. The new exhibition area is exclusively for Arne Haugens paintings, sculptures and watercolours.
