In 1987, museum director Frans Haks chose Alessandro Mendini as the architect. He considered him a jack-of-all-trades and convinced everyone of Mendini's artistic possibilities and versatility. Together Haks and Mendini came to a programme of demands that was realized in 1994. In 2010 they worked on the revitalization of the building. Several designers contributed to the improved architecture. The Lounge, a reception area, a new restaurant and an innovative information centre are definitely worth a visit.
