In Denmark, near Kronborg Castle (Shakespearian site and patrimony of UNESCO), a Maritime Museum is to be built designed by competition winners Bjarke Ingels Group.

The chosen site is a disused and drained dock. The building, which will house a museum covering 5,000 square metres, will be set in the gaps between the quays with a system of bridges serving as pathways and functional spaces. The system of docks will remain unaltered and legible as empty spaces that can be crossed on foot. The architects have emphasised the decision not to fill, instead creating an invisible architecture that answers Hamlet's question with a decisive “not to be”.Silvia Monaco
