This is soooo exciting, and I can’t wait to visit, although the museum, with a ‘single sheet of paper roof’, still has to be constructed. Danish architecture studio BIG is expanding a former Aldi supermarket in North Jutland, Denmark, to create The Museum for Paper Art, which is being developed to celebrate the history of paper art in Denmark (think Hans Christian Andersen and Le Klint Lighting).

Don’t forget: I’m hosting a free online workshop tomorrow (9/30 at 12 noon MST). We’ll make this single-sheet lantern, and you can register here. I’ll talk briefly about The Paper Year, which opens for registration tomorrow, too.
