Kolumba Museum

A museum built over wartime ruins and archaeological layers, distinguished by a perforated brick filter wall.

Ancient remains and a new brick mass overlap different layers of time.

Light, silence, and material are as important as the exhibits.

It is Zumthor’s major urban monument.
