KVORNING and partners, Icelandic Gagarin, and Creative Technology, Norway, have won two commissions from the Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum, NIA, to develop and realise the conceptual narrative for Tungtvannskjelleren, the heavy water room and research site where the world-changing Norwegian sabotage mission “Operation Gunnerside” took place.

Tungtvannskjelleren, located at the Vemork hydroelectric plant near Rjukan, Norway, is a historic national heritage site of Norwegian and international significance. When the “heavy water room” reopens, visitors will experience the story of the famous sabotage action that took place there in February 1943.

As the scene of perhaps the most important event in Norway’s war history, Tungtvannskjelleren is a key destination for history education and a monument to the Second World War. It is a place for learning and reflection, where innovative design must engage and captivate the audience to deliver a compelling history.

Opening: 18 June 2022 and 28 February 2023

KVORNING is contracting with Classic Car House to create turnkey exhibitions for the upcoming Classic Car House – a classic new universe for the senses, for which work is now underway in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark. Taking the former Agricultural Museum and Virumgård as a focal point, and while still maintaining respect for the spirit of the site, Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects and landscape architect Julie Kierkegaard are currently in full swing renovating, expanding and building new square meters of exhibition space.

Classic Car House will have a total area of ​​around 25,000 square meters for experiences, exhibitions, a showroom, a car hotel, restaurant/bistro as well as concert and conference facilities. Based on the master plan for all exhibitions – both temporary and more permanent installations – our task now is to bring together the buildings and exhibition concepts to create immersive, spectacular experiences at a world-class level.

Classic Car House will be the destination of choice for anyone passionate about beautiful vintage cars, historic buildings and parks. Something to look forward to it!
