About FLUGT<\/h1>\n <\/div>\n

Denmark\u2019s new international museum for refugee stories<\/h2>

FLUGT \u2013 Refugee Museum of Denmark is Denmark\u2019s new international museum for refugee stories.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

The aim of FLUGT is to tell the story of the largest stream of refugees that Denmark has ever received \u2013 a story unknown to many people. But the museum also tells the story of the countless refugees who have arrived in Denmark in recent years. FLUGT turns statistics into people and conveys the universal issues, emotions and all the complex details associated with the plight of being a human being on the run. Both in the past and in the present.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

International-Calibre, Story-Telling Architecture<\/h2>

FLUGT is designed by the world-renowned BIG \u2013 Bjarke Ingels Group and is in a league of its own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FLUGT tackles a theme that is part of our history, and that has just become highly topical again with the impending influx of refugees from the war in Ukraine. So, we have created an architectural setting that connects past and present, in which the new built structures are directly shaped by their connection to the historical buildings. This project has been close to my heart and the heart of the practice, given that it will convey to visitors one of the greatest challenges facing the world today: how we welcome and care for our global fellow citizens when they have been forced to flee. The project continues our collaboration with Varde Museums and Claus Kjeld Jensen on Tirpitz. The same uncompromising approach to the architecture forms the basis for FLUGT.<\/em><\/p>\n

Exhibition Design \u2013 Where Statistics Become People<\/h2>

Udstillingerne i FLUGT er skabt af det prisvindende hollandske firma, Tinker Imagineers. I et innovativt og levende oplevelsesdesign f\u00f8res g\u00e6sterne gennem lyd, billeder og interaktive elementer ind i fort\u00e6llingerne.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We feel honoured to design such a prestigious project in Denmark. Creating a museum about this topical issue has made the assignment especially relevant and meaningful to us. This is the type of challenge we love. We have worked with Vardemuseerne and Bjarke Ingels Group before and are delighted to do so again because of their shared ambition and quality. It will be very exciting and challenging to combine personal histories with social impact and turn FLUGT into an uplifting visitor experience.<\/em><\/p>\n
