Designs for a Natural History Museum: Exhibitions, Collections, Research

Evolutioneum Hamburg, Part II

aac Workshop, Hamburg, Germany
06 November until 25 November 2015 at the Campus Rainvilleterrasse in Hamburg


Documentation of results (web-optimised)


The title “Evolutioneum”  includes much more than the renaissance of the old Hamburg Natural History Museum destroyed in World War II. Although the collections that were saved prior to its destruction make up a large part of the Evolutioneum’s exhibits, it is intended to create a unique symbiosis of research, collections and exhibitions, combined in a joint building.

The subject of the workshop was initiated by Hamburg University and is based on spatial requirements developed in cooperation with the Centrum für Naturkunde (CeNak). Exhibition areas that stimulate all the senses, a non-public research cluster and, intermediating third element, the collection with compact storage facilities.

The second part of the workshop dealt with the transformation of the historic Fernmeldeamt.
