A creative interplay unfolds between art out of the museum's own collection, from the Middle Ages and the present day
Kolumba awakes creative curiosity to find out more about a universe hardly known. The building designed by Peter Zumthor as a light and shadow museum refers solidly to its historical significance as a location and harbours as an excavation site the memory landscape of its two-thousand-year history. The 16 additional exhibition rooms are characterised by unostentatious but sensuous physical presence; in them a creative interplay unfolds between art out of the museum's own collection- from the Middle Ages and the present day.
