Denmark’s Natural History Museum in Copenhagen has a Walkable Green Roof

Design giants <a href="http://kkaa.co.jp/" target="_blank">Kengo Kuma &amp; Associates</a>,<a href="http://www.ema.dk/" target="_blank"> Erik Møller Arkitekter</a>, and <a href="http://www.ja-ja.dk/" target="_blank">JAJA Architects</a> have come together to transform Copenhagen's Natural History Museum into an educational urban park. Incorporated into the beautiful landscape of the city’s <a href="http://inhabitat.com/atlantas-botanical-garden-is-a-glowing-winter-wonderland-with-recyclable-led-topiary/" target="_blank">botanical garden</a>, the museum is partially sunken into the ground and topped with a walkable green roof that welcomes visitors to rest and enjoy the surrounding garden.

The project mixes the experience of the museum and the garden by establishing several spaces where cityscape, vegetation and exhibition spaces converge.

The architects have decided to integrate the museum space within the landscape.

The collection is brought outside the museum space and into the garden, where the natural historical journey begins.

The interior is bathed in sunlight and provides multiple views of the garden area.

While touring through the exhibition space, visitors can take a moment to sit down and enjoy the calmness of the landscape that flows right outside the museum.

The Natural History Museum of Denmark has one of the world’s largest collections documenting the planet’s history.

The new museum is a fusion of nature and history.

These glimpses of giant skeletons and other wonders from our planet’s history invite and tease, invoking curiosity of the passers-by.
