The development of the new Randers Museum of Art in Denmark has progressed further with the appointment of Copenhagen-based 3XN architects.

The 7,550sq m museum will be built as a landmark at the entrance to the town of Randers, situated alongside the Guden River, and will house three exhibition galleries, an auditorium, a café and a boutique all on one level. There will be a mezzanine deck running the length of the building and a new sculpture park, designed by landscape architect Schønherr Landskab.

Michael Kruse, partner at 3XN, said: "It was important for us to create a building that was both open to the surrounding environment and yet allows for an intimate experience of the works of art inside."
