博物馆由三个展厅组成，每个展厅都放在一起。大型正方形大厅没有承重结构，由四条腿支撑，一条腿放置在正方形房间的每一侧。在展厅周围，两条腿向正面形成了一条狭小的缝隙-一个利基，它让凉爽的太阳和天空的光倾注到空间中，并与温暖的人造光融合在一起。除了光的效果，生态位允许自然休息，从艺术探索，你走得越高，你越被吸引到河，城市和景观的看法。

The museum comprises three exhibition halls placed on top of each other. The large, square halls are free from load-bearing structures and are supported by four legs, with one leg placed on each side of the square rooms. Around the exhibition halls, the legs create an outer, narrow gap towards the facades – a niche, which lets the cool sun and sky light pour into the space and merge with the warm artificial light. In addition to the light effect, the niches allow for natural breaks from the artistic exploring, and the higher up you go, the more you are drawn towards the view of the river, city and landscape.

这四条腿不仅支撑着建筑物，而且也是所有垂直运动的井：电梯、楼梯、管道和通风管道。入口及门厅横跨三层，包括一间博物馆、一间儿童工作坊及一间礼堂。一个部分三层高的房间可以连接这些空间。

The four legs not only support the building but also serve as wells for all vertical movement: elevators, stairs, pipes and ventilation ducts. The entrance and foyer span across the three lower levels and comprise a museum shop, a children’s workshop and an auditorium. A partly triple-high room serves to connect the spaces.

作为艺术校园的其他建筑，立面在西伯利亚落叶松的垂直百叶窗，支持它的垂直性-只有打破大窗户和玻璃地板在中间。乌梅艺术博物馆希望吸引国际艺术家。这对博物馆的安全和气候控制提出了很高的要求。博物馆与当地的供暖系统相连，并提供免费维修的材料。

As the other buildings at the Arts Campus, the facade features vertical louvres in Siberian larch, which supports its verticality – only broken by the large windows and the glass floor in the middle. Umeå Art Museum wishes to attract international artists. This imposes high requirements on museum safety and climate control. The museum connects to the local district heating system and features maintenance-free materials.
