The Groninger Museum, reopened in 1994, features old artifacts from the stone age as well as fashion and traveling collections. This extravagant modern-art building rests right on the canal as an artificial island, facing the main train station. The colourful building was designed by a famous Italian architect Alessandro Mendini, together with his three guest architects. The tall orange tower has no windows and is used to store the art pieces, unavailable to the public. The museum has De Lucchi pavilion with a gallery, a Starck pavilion with applied art, and Mendini pavilion with an exhibition. Each corridor and a hall, however, is an art of its own. Moreover, the building also offers a souvenir shop and a restaurant. A peculiar fact is the underside of the blue bridge, leading to the museum, is covered with stickers demonstrating the 17th century artwork of Old Dutch tiles.
