Entrance Building to Transportation Museum in Lucerne

In Lucerne, on the way from the old part of town, the visitor first passes by the grand five-star hotels overlooking the shores of Lake Lucerne before reaching the Transportation Museum, Switzerland’s most important museum of technology, occupying an impressive position right by the banks of the lake. The two new buildings of the museum open in 2009, a good ten years after an urban design competition was held to find a solution for the further development of this site. Fronting onto the road is the entrance building, and behind it is the road transport hall, clad distinctively and appropriately with street signs.
