The project in this case is a museum showing Celtic art, which is very close to a historical tomb. The museum is like an unearthed archaeological relic, and its metal structure stands out in the landscape, echoing the ancient tomb. The museum is not only a building, but also a mysterious object, which should be discovered by tourists as a symbol of landscape exploration.

The Celtic Museum has a clear outline and a unique volume, which blends in with the surrounding landscape. It partially inserted into the slope and leaned out in the direction of the ancient grave. The most important function of museum architecture is to highlight the leading role of ancient tombs as an element in the landscape. Under the main body of the museum, people can find the foyer, coffee shop and connected rooms. This is not only the beginning of the museum's archaeological exploration tour,

It is also the end. Stair ramps guide visitors into the exhibition area. At the end of the ramp, people will find a panoramic window, through which they can see the impressive scenery of ancient tombs, which is also part of the exhibition. The roof is also an observation deck, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around and the blue sky overhead.

So as to "discover" the surrounding scenery. Appreciation of Cultural Architecture: Celtic Art Museum, Germany
