Musée National de la Marine
Paris / France / 2023
The revitalized maritime museum in Paris opened to the public on the 17th of November after six years of restoration
The ambition behind the renovation of the Musée national de la Marine in Paris was to rethink the organization within the museum’s services to offer visitors and employees a functional environment for work, discovery, and exchange.
The design of the new museum is characterized by curved and circular forms, in keeping with the existing geometry of the building and subtly referencing the natural movement of water. This dynamic architectural movement facilitates circulation and connectivity between spaces and encourages more fluid interaction.
Drawing from the building’s different historical layouts, h2o architects and Snøhetta have restored the monumental volumes of the existing structure, creating ideal spaces for the newly imagined visitor experience and supplementary functions.
