Blog 7 Kolumba Museum

This beautiful monument is the Kolumba Museum located in Koln, Germany. The city was completely destroyed in World War 2, and this museum gives back by housing the Roman Catholic Archdiocese’s art collection which spans for more than a thousand years. This Museum is gorgeous outdoors but the inside is a true sight to see as it was built from the inside out as Zumthor said in an interview. Zumthor uses grey brick combined with the destroyed fragments of the site. These fragments include pieces of the Gothic church,and stone fragments from the Roman and medieval period. The museum has 16 different exhibition rooms and a secret garden if you want somewhere to go and breathe and take it all in.
