The Kolumba's new building.

History [edit]

The museum was founded past the Society for Christian Art in 1853, and taken over by the Archdiocese of Cologne in 1989.[2]

Until 2007 it was located nigh Cologne Cathedral. Its new dwelling house, built from 2003–07, was designed past Peter Zumthor and inaugurated by Joachim Meisner.

The new structure Peter Zumthor congenital for the museum at present shares its site with the ruins of the Gothic church and the 1950s chapel, wrapping a perforated grey brick facade like a cloak around both, the museum and old church building.[iv] The sixteen exhibition rooms possess varying qualities with regard to incoming daylight, size, proportion, and pathways. The work on the project yielded the following reduction: lite gray brick walls (Kolumba stones) and dirt plaster, flooring made of Jura limestone, terrazzo, and mortar, ceilings fabricated of a poured mortar beat out, window frames, doors, casings and fittings of steel, wall paneling and furniture of wood, textiles and leather, curtains of leather and silk.[5]
