Tirpitz Museum is transformation and expansion of a
historical monolithic German WWII bunker. The museum is a 2800 square meter
structure located on the shoreslands of Blåvand in western Denmark.
The four main materials used constructing the Tirpitz museum
are concrete, steel, glass and wood; and are repeated throughout to blend with
the surroundings.
This cultural complex has galleries, four exhibition
areas and event halls. The exhibitions were design by a Dutch agency “TINKER
IMAGINEERS”, to display both permanent and temporary shows.
