Vorarlberg Museum, Bregenz, Austria

The recently reopened Vorarlberg Museum in Bregenz, Austria, is a real eye-catcher with its unique concrete surface design. Inside the building one can find testimonies of local art and culture from the past and present. In order to make the building’s purpose outwardly visible, the artist Manfred Alois Mayr managed to let the concrete surface literately "burst into bloom". He found his inspiration in an everyday object.
