Henning Larsen Architects and the contractors MT Højgaard A/S will receive the reputable and coveted architectural award, the In-Situ Award 2014, on June 11th 2014, for the new Moesgaard Museum.

The annual In-Situ Award is annually awarded by Dansk Beton. The award is given to a person or a company that has created a unique project in in-situ concrete and further has challenged the formability and potential of the material.

”The new Moesgaard Museum strikingly stands out from the hills of Skåde and under one great concrete roof, it gathers all of the different functions of the building in one big scenic movement. The building is international in its vision but at the same time it builds on the best of the Danish architectural tradition and that is why it has been chosen as the recipient of the year’s In-Situ Award”, the panel of judges states in the reason for the awarding.

Moesgaard Museum was selected as the winner by the panel of judges of the In-Situ Award, which consisted of Architect MAA Sophus Søbye, owner of Sophus Søbye Arkitekter ApS and Creative Director, Architect MAA Jesper Gottlieb, Partner of Gottlieb Architects

The new museum is not just the biggest newly built cultural history museum of Northern Europe. It will also be the setting for many different activities – picnics, concerts, talks and traditional Midsummer’s bonfires in the summer and the city’s best toboggan ride in the winter.

The new Moesgaard Museum will open in October 2014.
