It´s a magnificient and outstanding restoration of four turn-of-the century harbour warehouses. They have been renovated and glassed-in to form a single masterpiece building.
Opened in 1986 after much hoopla. With 550 000 annual visitors it is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the whole country.
The design has attracted considerable attention and has won a number of awards including the Europa Nostra Prize, the Nobel Prize of architecture.
