The museum is conceived as an open space, an architectural body and a fluid collection, where it’s possible to construct a space of freedom. And as Hanna Arendt has beautifully said:

“The public space is the space deputed to be host the birth of the democracy”; it is the space of exchange, of knowledge, of mutual comparison and reasoning.

There is in the existing site a big potential of create a connection and a beautiful axis between one of the biggest attraction of the city, the river , connected by to bridges with the banks on the west site, and the existing park on the museums ground.

In order for the museum to be visible in this axis and create an hub of cultural activities, the access to the museum is oriented to this side of the site.
