Minna Takala: New Archetype for Museums. “The most obvious new aspect of the Storehouse is that it is totally transparent, exposing the collection of 250,000 objects to public viewing. The building is literally a warehouse (like Amazon) where you can walk inside the corridors like in an IKEA store to see the objects placed on shelves.”
