The tour was one of the last before the building site closes for visitors, only to be accessible again when the museum officially opens in 2025.

Highlights included the glass covered ocean-hall, the large room for travelling exhibitions, the beautifully restored older parts of the building and the cavernous exhibition spaces underground, as well as our two great tour guides from Lundgaard & Tranberg who knew everything about the project, each having worked on it for more than eleven years!

They gave a great introduction to the legal, economic, regulatory, political and architectural considerations of a project of this type. We’ll be back in 2025.
