The
Ancient Mediterranean
A
new permanent exhibition of 1200 m2 at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
The Architects BONDE + LJUNGAR Arkitekter MAA have created the
framework for the new permanent exhibition, The Ancient Mediterranean at the Ny
Carlsberg Glyptotek to celebrate the centenary of Hack Kampmanns extension to
display the Museums collection of antiquities.
The Ancient Mediterranean has
been created from the ideas and concepts of Museums Director Jette
Christiansen. A direct result of recent scientific
research that has produced a new approach and understanding of antique culture
and their interactions and integration across the regional boundaries of the Mediterranean and especially the Phoenician mariners and
traders as a catalyst.
It is our goal that the new
exhibition should be seen as a natural extension of Hack Kampmanns work, in its rugged catacomb
like rooms, showing a rough appearance but at the same time, and in contrast,
possess a fineness and exclusivity, which as an example can be seen in the
various detailing of the floor
Our architectural concept is
that the new layout of the Museum should show a lightness and transparency – in contrast to
the original exhibition rooms and the architectural and historic weight of the
building – at the same time serving as an anonymous background, achieved by the
contrast of materials and textural effects of the exhibits which are mostly
images in fired clay, stone and bronze.
It is important for both the
Museum and us to continue the inheritance of using beautiful and good quality
craftsmanship. Therefore all the furniture and fittings for the exhibition
rooms have been specially designed continuing the high standard of quality
workmanship. Exhibition display cabinets, plinths of black basalt and lacquered
wood, lighting, stainless steel sun shades, window fittings and information
boards – all of these have been designed and specially made for the exhibition
rooms and their antique contents.
It is our wish that the new furniture
and fittings possesses fineness, lightness and an exclusivity, which is seldom
seen in a museum setting - an expressive anonymity and pure minimalism.
The new exhibition display
cabinets are seen to be translucent and transparent without any inconvenient
and annoying frames around the glass, both of which give the cabinets lightness
and gives the visitors a sense of being a part of the exhibition. All visible
parts are constructed in a combination of clear and sand blasted glass,
exterior fittings and plinth fascias are brown patinated tombac (brass alloy),
and the interior fittings are of matt stainless steel. The same materials are
used throughout the exhibition.
It has been our basic concept
to create a good source of light throughout the exhibition, both for the
visitors as well as for the exhibits. The colour scheme, the exclusive sun
shades and up-light chandeliers have brought the light of day into the exhibition rooms, whereas before it was only
entering through the facade, giving a dark cavernous light.
The Museums exhibits have
received a new life, outlined by
light and shadow, where form, colour and details are more apparent. All the
exhibits have been re-mounted on new plinths of sand blasted acrylic, whereas
they were originally mounted on different light and dark natural stone or wood.
The new plinths create a neutral and coherent framework for the exhibits.
The graphic identity for The
Ancient Mediterranean was designed by Thora Fisker,
who in an exemplary way has understood and solved the task – so that the
graphic treatment forms a natural part of the exhibition in keeping with the
Museums and our intention of strengthening the information level.
BONDE + LJUNGAR arkitekter MAA are a young
architectural office (1999) and is a partnership between the man and wife team
of architects Charlotte Bonde (born 1965) and Dan Ljungar (born 1966). Both
graduated from The RoyalAcademy of Fine Arts - School of Architecture, specializing in the art of
building. Among other projects they have also made the permanent exhibition at Kunstindustrimuseet/The
Danish Museum of Art & Design, ” Utopias and Reality in 20th Century
Decorative Art and Design”
