Description
Corpus Museum, a tour into the Human Body
The human being is partly outside the building and partly inside the building.
You can enter the body from the museum building at knee –level and to start a tour through the body.
Everywhere in multimedia concepts, you can in-depth your knowledge of the human-body, from knee to brains and from mouth to the hart!!!
The location alongside one of the two motorways between cities The Hague and Amsterdam is chosen because this will guarantee 26 million eye contact with this unique museum building a year!!
The Corpus, the human statute, approx. 100 feet tall, is constructed from wood an covered with Corten Steel sheets and with a museum inside.
Corten Steel is a kind of stainless steel …………. It creates very rapidly a thin skin of corrosion which protects the steel for a prolonged period of time from corrosion!!! Protective coatings are not used, but you have to accept the colour of corroded steel.
This colour, appearance of corroded steel I like personally very much.
Years ago a (music) theatre was build with Corten Steel sheet, despite the fantastic name they had chosen for the building ( I have forgotten the name in the meantime, but the building is nowadays known as the Rusty Shed (LOL)
This new museum is opened the 14th of March 2008 by the Queen of the Netherlands. At that day the photo is taken and as frame, just for fun, I have used a detail of one of the walls of the building!! ( IMHO not an ideal background, but just for fun …………….. )
Tomorrow I will explain more about this 30 million USD Museum and Building near Leiden in the Netherlands!!
Thanks for viewing
Have a very nice day
