Related Research Material for Silkeborg Museum

The purpose of these images is to give a background of where Utzon's concept for the Silkeborg Museum has originated from which is basically from cave temples. Jeremy gave me suggestions to post these images as proof of research beyond the Silkeborg Museum and Jorn Utzon.

Ellora Caves, Aurangabad, Maharastra, India (along the Deccan Odyssey Train Journey in HSC India Trip, Goa to Mumbai)- As we can see, we see that these kind of caves have been carved out of stone which makes it more like a unique cave temple. The caves look like pieces of architecture which have a mixture of interior and exterior spaces. This cave temple has background of Jorn's idea of the museum however doesn't relate to the concept for Jorn Utzon's Silkeborg Museum.

Ajanta Caves, Maharastra, India (along the Deccan Odyssey Train Journey in HSC India Trip, Goa to Mumbai)-These kind of caves are set in a valley looking shape. This has a similar approach however, we see that they're all interior spaces with views of the valley. This cave temple is similar to Jorn Utzon's conept for the Silkeborg Museum compared to Ellora caves because they look as though the cave temple has been buried and embedded on a rocky cliff.
