Hanoi Museum
For the new building of the Hanoi Museum, Werner Sobek supported gmp Hamburg with the planning of the extravagant, predominantly glass facade. What is particularly remarkable about the futuristic-looking building is its column-free ground floor.
Inverted Pyramid with Column-Free Ground Floor
The four-storey building offers 14,00 m² of exhibition space and service areas. The basement of the building houses two conference rooms as well as the building services installations.
The museum is located directly next to the National Congress Centre in Hanoi.
