MUSEUM BUILDING KAAP SKIL

The new museum building Kaap Skil is an experience which makes a visit to the museum more than special.

n 2012 the new museum building Kaap Skil was opened to the public. It is designed by Mecanoo architects from Delft. The building has four linked-up, whimsical peaked roofs that merge into the rhythm of the village’s roofs that, seen from the sea, seem to rise above the dyke. The wooden façade of Kaap Skil illustrates the ancient tradition of recycling. The vertical lamellae have been made of sawn hardwood sheet piling from the Noord-Hollands Kanaal, getting a second life this way, just like the museum’s collection items that were once washed ashore.
