The World in Your Shopping Basket - exhibition at the Danish Maritime Museum (M/S Museet for Søfart), Helsingør Denmark. An exhibition about shipping today. Large film projections shows the importance of shipping - and how ships connect the Asians producers to the Danish consumer. Also a live map showing how many ships sail for Danish companies and where, and an interactive game to test your skills as a shipping executive sailing goods between the continents. At the end of the hall a 20 ft container to symbolize how all of this started - and the world's largest ship model of a modern Maersk container ship. M/S The Danish Maritime Museum is nominated for EMYA 2015 and Mies van der Rohe Award. The Danish Maritime Museum (MS Museet for Søfart) situated at the old shipbuilding yard between the Culture Yard (Kulturværftet) and the Castle Kronborg in Elsinore / Helsingør, Denmark. (The view to which was not allowed to be disturbed as Kronborg is on the UNESCO World Heritage List). The museum is built around the old dry dock from 1955 in a bold architectural mixture of a raw industrial expression in concrete and modern minimalism in steel, glass, and aluminium. The sloping bridges leads down to the former shipyard's old dry dock to the entrance of an underground museum designed by the renowned architecture company BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group).
