The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is on the move: Over the next few years, it will be developed into an open and integrated research museum: During ongoing operations, the museum will be renovated in several phases and the scientific collection objects will be further developed and made even more accessible.
Since June 11, large transport boxes have been stacked at four locations along the exhibition tour and provide information about the so-called Future Plan. This plan includes the new concept for the impressive dinosaur hall, based on the designs by gmp, which are also displayed there.
In 2023, gmp won the competition for the museum’s conversion and extension. The aim of the competition was to renovate the listed ensemble and the outdoor facilities in an inclusive and barrier-free manner, to refurbish them according to historical preservation standards and expand them with new spaces for exhibitions, collections and research. The design by gmp, together with Rainer Schmidt | landscape architects + urban planners, includes the roofing of the two inner courtyards, allowing for the restructuring of visitor facilities, among other things.
The installation “ZUKUNFTSPLAN - Das Museum in Bewegung” can be admired alongside the exhibition “ZUGvögel - eine Sammlung in Bewegung” over the next three years.
