How can we forget the famous author of fairy tales, “father” of The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling and The Little Match Girl, we are talking about Hans Christian Andersen who with his tales made children all over the world dream.
By the summer of this year, a museum dedicated to Andersen will be built in Odense, his hometown. The museum promises to offer a unique experience to visitors by immersing them in the literary world of Andersen, in an ad hoc structure designed by the equally famous architect Kengo Kuma.

“The idea behind the architectural design resembles Andersen’s method, where a small world suddenly expands into a larger universe,” Kuma explained. The facility includes an underground, technologically advanced museum, a children’s home and is nestled in what has already been dubbed the “magical garden.”
From cinema to books to fairy tales, the Hans Christian Andersen world is about to become real under the guidance of Kengo Kuma, to make those 156 fairy tales written by the Danish author even more unforgettable. Here are the first photos.
