There would be marble sinks in the bathroom and brass coat hangers. The white painted staircases are slightly asymmetric while the handrails would be very soothing sliding down with your finger on their rim. There would be smooth oak countertops at the entrance. It would smell very new while your footsteps would echo through the generous spaces. The grey concrete walls and wooden details yell Scandinavian design at the top of their lungs.

Project description
Museum without walls is an attempt to open new the Nobel Center before it even existed as an architectural model. Responding to questions like “How can spatial limitations be overcome?”, “How can the existing Nobel Museum host more exhibits or more information on limited space?” And ultimately “How can the new Nobel Centre be accessible before it is even built.”
Museum without walls tabs into the existing Audio guides of the Nobel Center and adds layers of information on the exhibits. Background stories and Future explorations come to life as much as a 3 D sound piece that takes visitors on a guided tour through the vision of the new Nobel Center – beyond the ideas captured in an architectural model.
