The  Museum Liaunig is sited over step-sided ground, high up in the mountain in Austria. Only a small side of the museum structure is visible. The museum’s main body slices through a densely-wooded embankment, provided a spectacular view over the river.

The museum entrance zone is situated toward the nearby historical castle owned by the museum’s patron. The structure of the museum offers the possibility to organize a variety of exhibitions, parties and cocktails by virtue of flexible screens and lighting arrangements.

The museum main hall is 160 metre long, fully daylight exhibition hall, with protected terraces at each end. As well as the hall is organized with mobile exhibition panels. Coool place!

The high cost of external envelope is avoided by sinking the majority of the building below ground. Rather than removing the soil, excavated ground is used to remodel the site.

Set into the hill, the museum benefits from the temperature environment. Roof light substitutes artificial light as much as possible.
