Museum Valkhof
The junior lab uses garage style trolleys containing artefacts and objects for children to explore.
Client
Museum ‘Het Valkhof’.
Project
Initiated in 1997, completed in 1999. Interior design including interior architecture, furniture, exhibition design and signage.
Outcome
Museum ‘Het Valkhof ‘ is located in the Dutch city of Nijmegen, a former Roman settlement. The museum houses a unique archaeological collection and is situated on a landmark-site in the city centre.
Ben van Berkel’s austere architecture and sober standardised furniture designs are counterbalanced against the more outspoken graphic forms and robust object-specific pedestals and display cases designed in cooperation with WAAC’s Design and Consultancy. A deliberate use of colour warms the museum’s otherwise cool interior.
