MKM Museum Küppersmühle, Extension
Küppersmühle Museum in Duisburg, a Herzog & de Meuron project dating from 1997, set the first milestone in the redevelopment of the old inner harbour into an urban focal point of the city. Küppersmühle, formerly a mill, became the MKM Museum Küppersmühle – housing the Grothe Collection. It formed the nucleus for a high-quality varied urban usage of the area. Ströher Collection The amalgamation of the Ströher and Grothe Collections has now engendered both the wish and necessity of concentrating and exhibiting this collection of international stature in a fitting setting. A feasibility study outlined future options and opportunities. Duisburg Located at the confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr, Duisburg’s history and development are closely linked with these national waterways. Parts of the city are characterised by extensive harbour facilities and their secondary structures. In recent years, upheavals in the industrial sector and the changing traffic situation have led to a transformation process, where valuable inner-city areas became available for long-term urban development. In the process, the former inner harbour complex became one of the most important key projects.
