Railway Museum Utrecht
The Railway Museum is situated at the rear of Maliebaan Station in the city centre of Utrecht. Considerable thought went into how the museum relates to its surroundings. The building consists of a large hall plus three exhibition rooms whose volumes project through the sloping roof. The outer wall is built in brickwork with window strips that are filled with glazing, grilles or sections of weather-boarding according to the interior functions. The structural frame resembles a rib cage, and is supported by columns which branch upwards like trees.

Public transport node Voorburg

In the years to come, several attempts were made to mend this scar but it became clear the solution should entail an emphasis on quality.
