The Toska hall interior

An aircraft hangar and a few remains of foundations are all that is left of the giant buildings that were erected here by the Germans during WW1.

By merging the zeppelin and the hangar we create a unique, modern and iconic expression with references to the giant historical structures.

From the large 10-sided gable window, there is a view of the original landing site for the German planes.

Visitors can embark on an augmented reality journey in the zeppelin gondola.

The Zepgar is divided in two. One part is a large open exhibition space at full height. The second part is a stacking of four exhibition decks with areas for varying exhibitions.
