Schmidlin Architekten impressed the jury, chaired by Thomas Hasler, with its self-confident, modern architectural language. The free-standing new building sets clear accents and brings added value to the city of Bern by enriching the public space. The replacement for the 1984 extension, which was in need of renovation, will enable the Kunstmuseum Bern to strengthen its role as a cultural hub. By combining architectural quality and public accessibility, the museum will become a central place of exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
