Tupla Galapagos Explorer VII -promo Lahtinen & Mantere Saatchi & Saatchi (12.09.)

Some time when I observed the flash loader (I have fast ADSL connection), I thought that it’s a site that will be a star of the today’s review… But after “Jurassic Parkâ€? – looking logo my exiting gone away. Site’s style doesn’t go out from the bunch of similar-looking flash promos.

Metropoliz.net Nitro Contra (12.09.)

Nitro come with new version of Metropoliz.net. Design of this site made in style, supposed to be liked by teenagers. Typography looks a little bit obsolete. I do recommend using of real handwriting fonts in such cases.

BIGRADICAL Visual Identity & website White Sheep (12.09.)

Big photos, bold colour scheme, looking ambitious and active. Site made in flash, but in this case in question of necessity, because all features possible to do with CSS/DHTML. This site designed for big screen resolutions.

Crape Cloud9 (12.09.)

Clean and functional layout, little bit overloaded with blue colour, but still looking fresh. On-mouse-over effects on the front page looking oddly though.

Trapholt museum

Trapholt is one of the largest and most popular museums in Denmark outside of Copenhagen. Opened in 1988, Trapholt is situated in beautiful natural surroundings, with a view out over Kolding Fjord. The museum is easily accessible for disabled people, and children are welcome. Packed lunches, etc. are naturally welcome. There is a large car park close to the main entrance, where coaches are also free to park. The museum conducts tours for groups.

Trapholt contains:

-A large collection of modern Danish visual art

-The Franciska Clausen Collection

-A Richard Mortensen exhibition

-A museum of furniture design, featuring modern Danish furniture design

-Special exhibitions - 3 to 4 each year

-Collections of applied art, primarily ceramics and textiles

-Collections of product design, primarily tableware

-A sculpture garden, featuring works by contemporary Danish artists

-A café, serving beverages and light dishes, and with a beautiful view of the fjord

-A museum shop, where posters, Danish design and books on art and design are on sale.

Trapholt’s architecture is an attraction itself. Laid out along the central walkway, Trapholt’s various exhibition rooms - including the underground museum of furniture design - provide the setting for interesting spatial experiences.
