Moesgaard Museum (Denmark)
The Moesgaard Museum (MOMU) is an archaeological and ethnographical museum in Højbjerg on Jutland, Denmark.
In October 2014, MOMU opened a new, architecturally striking exhibition centre, designed by Henning Larsen Architects A/S. At its superb location high atop the Skåde hills south of Aarhus, the building emerges as a significant visual icon, with its rectangular shaped, sloping roof, landscaped with grasses, mosses, and flowers in bright colors that can be seen even from the sea. The 15,000 m² museum building was built with a budget of DKK 345 million.
Heidelberg Materials Denmark delivered 9,700 m³ of concrete for the project. The base slab was done in one casting. 1,100 m³ were piped in with two pumps. Altogether, 2,500 m³ of white concrete were used. The concrete was delivered in many small batches. Because of the casting speed, around 1,100 orders were placed at the factory. This served to prevent the concrete from hardening before use
