The new "Mino" building is integrated into the hilly landscape below the existing building and contains exhibition rooms, a workshop and learning spaces. The transition from the existing building takes place via a transverse axis that runs from the reception of the main building to the staircase area of the new building. The two-storey connection is glazed on one side and provides a view of a water mirror.
