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.
