The National Museum of Archaeology and Earth Sciences sits astride two fields of knowledge, and the architectural and curatorial ambitions of this project unite these different disciplines. The museum unfolds through a series of discoveries, from the gardens, to the patios, and through the succession of exhibitions. The volume of the permanent exhibition galleries is lifted from the ground and organized into a continuous ring around the exterior of the building, shadowed by an inner ring housing educational and support spaces directly related to the exhibitions. The public core of the museum, located at the heart of the building, is thus made both visually and publicly accessible from the surrounding public park. As our position changes, so too does our perspective - and with it our perceptions and preconceptions.
