The Freedom Museum in Groesbeek, the Netherlands, has the shape of an enormous parachute, a recognizable symbol of liberation at the end of the war. The museum is housed in a Shaded Dome, an innovation of Shaded Dome Technologies, a company founded by architectural studio ZJA, Royal HaskoningDHV and Polyned. With a Shaded Dome as its roof, the museum has a distinctive and recognizable shape, but with its fluid form and its skin it also fits into the green, hilly landscape of Groesbeek.
