"The museum, which lies in an old garden together with a long building, is formed so that it will not disturb the surroundings, but is oriented completely inward."
- In the magazine Arkitektur DK no. 1, 1964
“It will be with a sense of surprise and a desire to penetrate down into the building that the visitor for the first time sees the three-storey building open beneath him. Unconcerned - by stairs and corridors, which normally disturb - the viewer will glide almost effortlessly down into the museum via the ramp, taking him through the space.Strict geometry will form the basis for a simple constructional shape. The vible curved external surfaces are to be clad with ceramics in strong colors so that the parts of the building emerge like shining ceramic sculptures, and inside the museum will be kept white.”
- Jørn Utzon
