包括玻璃宫殿在内的博物馆建筑群占地超过13000平方米。从建筑和文化的角度来看,赫尔辛基日渐丰满的城市形象对Amos Rex博物馆项目有着至关重要的影响,使其最终能够成为一个真正令人难忘的全新视觉艺术中心。博物馆馆长Kai Kartio表示:“我们的目的是打造一个充分关注艺术、同时关注艺术的生产和呈现方式的场所。内容上,Amos Rex将重点放在以下三个方面:具有实验性和技术创新性的当代艺术、20世纪的现代主义以及古代文化。”
Together with the Lasipalatsi Pavilion, the museum complex extends to just over 13,000 square metres. From an architectural and a cultural perspective, Helsinki’s evolving urban identity has been paramount in conceiving the Amos Rex project, a truly exciting new centre for the visual arts. The Museum’s Director, Kai Kartio, describes its curatorial programme, “Our guiding principle has been to create a space that takes into consideration changes in art as well as ever-evolving ways in which art is made and presented. Content-wise, Amos Rex rests on three pillars: experimental, technically innovative contemporary art; 20th century Modernism, and ancient cultures.”
