In the face of today’s melting multiculturalism and globalization that makes the world converge, a professional Iberian cultural museum with a long cultural history is worth protecting.
This renovation project in Denmark has become the largest prison museum in the world after its expansion in CuboArkitekter in 2016.

MuseoIBERO。 The picture originates from the divisare open-air space, which is not only in harmony with the external facade of the building, but also brings more places to stay from the perspective of urban development, optimizes the connection between the building and the surrounding environment, and creates a coherent internal and external space.
It is precisely because of this space that cultural activities in the city have been developed faster.
The designer reopened and built the space, added romantic lighting by using the elevated space, moved down the original high windows, re planned the moving line, and opened a door to welcome passengers.
At the beginning of the design, the designer conceived a concept of “city square” according to the geographical location of the project, providing a public space and a place for cultural activities for the citizens of Hahn.
This may be the only museum in the world dedicated to displaying the people, culture and symbols of Iberia.
01 Does the transformation of the prison space of the Spanish Iberian Museum into a cultural museum also symbolize the inclusiveness and civilization progress of the city to a certain extent? After the Harn prison in Spain was closed in 2001, the local government turned the space into an Iberian museum, which was designed by EDDEA to show Spain’s glorious history in the Iberian peninsula.
The use of concrete makes the space quite industrial.
MuseoIBERO indoor.
The open indoor space of the new “West Hall” is not restricted by the weather and can be flexibly arranged.
The picture is from the right picture of the network: Wilmina Hotel.
MuseoIBERO。 The picture originates from the divisare museum, which is located at the intersection of the traffic arteries in the business district.
One is white, one is black, one is bright and one is dark, giving a completely different experience from the space design.
The artificial clouds and bright sky make people feel as if they are outdoors, and at the same time, they can act as a sunshade barrier.
First of all, we need to open many small compartments in the building to redefine the function of the space.
Iberian culture is a fusion of multiple cultures.
The American heavy metal band Metallica once held concerts here.
02 The reconstruction of Denmark Horsens Prison Museum is different from that of Iberia Museum.
Secondly, for visitors, the lighting of the museum is very important.
The picture originates from the idea that the old and new coexist in Forgemind.
The picture originates from the reconstruction of the “West Hall” of Forgemind Horsens Prison Museum, which can be understood as “demolition”+”construction”.
By removing the original structure, the more regular space boundary is restored, and then the demolished space is incorporated into the original space to build a simple and transparent roof.
The picture comes from the new “West Hall” of Forgemind, which has a very strong contrast with the old prison.
Walk in together and find the new appearance of the prison full of imagination.
It is a comprehensive space.
The designer uses the patio to keep the museum bright.
The spacious space here is very suitable for concerts.
Museum exhibitions are often updated, and public education activities are often carried out to bring rich leisure life to the surrounding residents.
The space after transformation has become a space serving public activities.
03 The Wilmina Hotel in Germany, a building with William style in the late 19th century, was originally a women’s prison.
The new reconstruction design is also very consistent with the current design trend.
The picture comes from the following figure on the Internet: the transformed Horsens Prison Museum.
Its unique site conditions may add a lot of points to the reconstruction of ArmandGr ü ntuch and AlmutGr ü ntuch Ernst.
They come from Spain, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries/regions, including the first prison transformation cultural and creative park in China.
The roof makes the space function more flexible and changeable.
Wilmina Hotel..
The Horsens Prison Museum has more diverse uses, which can hold business meetings or concerts.

The shape of the building is constructed by a number of modern cubes, with classic earth colors and stones, so that the building can stand the test of time.
MuseoIBERO。 The picture comes from the Iberian Museum of Divisare, which promotes Iberian art in the field of archaeology and anthropology.
The picture originates from the space transformed by mottimes, which is now an art gallery to display contemporary art, as well as a hotel and hotel.
How big can the imagination of prison building transformation be? In people’s impression, the prison has a high, airtight wall, a tightly managed cell, and the space atmosphere is cold, oppressive, and imprisoned, which is unimaginable.
The picture comes from the change of the prison structure into an art space.
Then, when the prison space ends its historical mission, how should the remaining idle space be regenerated through transformation? Can prisons be beautified? What challenges does it bring to architects? How will it abandon the function of imprisonment and combine it with different life scenes and business forms? Can it be injected into a new culture? Can it really integrate into the society? Can it even promote the inclusiveness and progress of urban civilization? In this issue, we have taken stock of 10 prison transformation cases at home and abroad, which have been transformed into museums, schools, hotels, parks, social centers…
