Photo © Rasmus Hjortshøj The lushly swirling landscape design, including a coiled canopy with a planted roof connecting the two towers, is by Raymond Jungles. The towers sit on a podium enclosing a two-story garage.

Exposed concrete columns pierce a custom metal-paneled ceiling and then erupt through the oak-paneled walls to give the interiors architectural drama.

Then workers built a slurry wall around the perimeter. Once this was done, the site was drained and excavated. The museum takes an iconic form because the dry dock is conveniently shaped like a boat.   Photo © Luca Santiago Mora M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark By burying the museum underground, views of Kronberg Castle and other monuments were left undisturbed.   Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Three two-level aluminum-clad bridges span the dock’s void. They contain auditoriums and gallery space. A café overlooks the floor of the dock.   Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Careful cuts into the old concrete walls bring light into the perimeter galleries.   Photo © Luca Santiago Mora M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark The museum’s neighbor, Kronberg Castle (the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare’s Hamlet), can be seen from the promenades created by the bridges that zigzag across the dry dock.   Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Iceberg-like display cases, by exhibition designer Kossmann.dejong, show off the museum’s collection.   Photo © Thijs Wolzak M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark An angled stair guides visitors back up to the galleries from the dock floor.   Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Ole Thomsen (before) Photo © Luca Santiago Mora (after) M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh (before) Photo © Luca Santiago Mora (after) M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Luca Santiago Mora M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Photo © Rasmus Hjortsh M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Image courtesy BIG M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Image courtesy BIG M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Image courtesy BIG M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Image courtesy BIG M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark Image courtesy BIG
