Emil Schumacher Museum

Created by Lindemann architects from Mannheim, a refined glass volume connects the old building, housing the Osthaus museum, with the new construction of the Emil Schumacher Museum.

A concrete core forms the heart of the building which contains two large exhibition spaces. The lighting concept for the museum establishes a connecting element for all exhibition areas. A luminous ceiling system was implemented as a sleek and homogeneous response to the various room layouts. All luminaires are accommodated in linear slots in order to retain uncluttered ceilings whilst allowing the art work to come to life by the means of light.
