This exhibition documents the twelve years of work that Estudio Herreros dedicated to the Munch Museum project in Oslo. It is carried out in cooperation with CentroCentro in Madrid and arc en rêve in Bordeaux and coincides with the opening of the museum in October 2021.

The name of the exhibition, Lambda Files, was taken from the pseudonym that protected the architects’ anonymity in the international competition and was surprisingly also used by the media until construction of the building began. The files are a large collection of materials documenting the internal history of the project and are of the type that normally never see the light of day. Most firms of architects consider them to be “paperwork” and even redraw the plans for clean publications that deproblematize the design work.

At a time when most museums are rethinking their assignments and their significance for the public, we thought it was necessary to consider a radically different case: that of a museum built from scratch, a cityscape that changes with the emergence of a new architectural element, a cultural facility that takes its meaning from individual and collective uses.

With a range of audience members, the project aspire to communicate with professionals, young adults, art enthusiasts and so on. If you wish, you can delve into the world of complex design discovering what the future holds for sustainable yet obscure architecture.
