Description:
|
Exterior view: facades. The "filter walls" are described in the museum literature as air and light permeable membranes. Location: Kolumbastraße. The museum was founded in 1853 but the gothic buildings in which it was housed were badly damaged in the war, though most of the collections, stored elsewhere, survived. A "Madonna in the Ruins" Chapel was constructed (Gottfried Böhm, 1949) as a shrine to a figure of Mary which had survived the bombing, but the collection was shown elsewhere until this new building was completed, encompassing the ruins of the older structure.
