Innovative and of a rare high level. The jury thought of the way in which the daylight was brought into the Voorlinden Museum. The jury can hardly imagine a better way to show art. Museum Voorlinden has therefore been selected by the jury as the winner of the Dutch Daylight Award 2018 in the category> 1000 m2.

In contrast to the usual northern light that museums only focus on, Kraaijvanger Architects has succeeded in bringing in reflected southern daylight, which is then filtered through a velum.
The winners of the biennial Dutch Daylight Award were announced by the foundation Dutch Daylight during a festive meeting in the Supreme Court on Thursday 4 October 2018.

a resort of the gods,
the art submerged in clear,
living daylight
