Domkirkeodden is already a destination with several strong attractions and the new museum building will be a natural complement, providing better opportunities for the museum throughout the year. The appearance is based on creating a harmony with the surroundings as well as with Storhamarlåven and Hamardomen.

The new building is a wooden building with a simple shape and a gabled roof that interacts with its neighbor buildings. The staggered floors allow the building to blend naturally into the surrounding landscape. The south-east corner is cut off parallel to Storhamarlåven, creating a clear entrance to the square. Pilgrimslåven (The Pilgrim’s Lodge) is a contemporary and timeless addition.
