Architectural Photographer for Moesgaard Museum – In Collaboration with Henning Larsen

The Moesgaard Museum, located in the rolling hills south of Aarhus, is an iconic building dedicated to world-class prehistoric and ethnographic exhibitions. Designed by Henning Larsen, this museum is an architectural marvel that seamlessly blends nature, culture, and history. One of the unique aspects of this project is its harmonious integration into the natural topography of the site: the building is partially buried, and its gently sloping roof merges directly with the surrounding landscape, creating a subtle dialogue between architecture and nature.

From a photographic perspective, this project presented unique challenges. Due to the museum’s integration into the landscape, the building’s green roof becomes an extension of nature, requiring wide-angle shots to capture the relationship between the structure and its environment. The combination of the semi-buried architecture and the soft lines of the roof creates a striking visual effect, blurring the boundaries between the man-made and the natural.

This photographic series is part of an ongoing collaboration with Henning Larsen, during which I have had the opportunity to document several of their architectural works across Denmark. For the Moesgaard Museum, my goal was to capture the symbiosis between architecture and nature while highlighting the subtle details that make this building a modern masterpiece. Each image is intended to convey the unique balance between architectural innovation and respect for the landscape.

The Moesgaard Museum is a remarkable example of the union between functionality and aesthetics, and this photographic project provided an exceptional opportunity to showcase this achievement in both cultural and natural contexts. My work highlights how Henning Larsen created an architecture that does not merely occupy space but becomes an integral part of it.
