Summary

To gain a clearer picture of what a memorial museum is today and how architects approach the task, this chapter looks at architectural solutions for two Holocaust museums that grapple with contemporary demands. A thorough analysis will zoom in on two congruent museum sites: the Dossin Barracks at Mechelen, Belgium, and the Cité de la Muette at Drancy, France. After comparing the case studies, the chapter will move on to discuss and analyse the projects along the lines of the theoretical framework established in the first three chapters, with special attention to the issue of transmission.
