The experience gets better when the museum building itself is as awesome as the exhibits inside. The guys at MAD Architects thought the same probably, while designing this beautiful and stunning museum building for the city of Xiamen, China. At first look, the building does remind one of a bunch of poisonous mushrooms on which you\u2019d probably find a fairy sunbathing. The organic molten metal building will float above the city below on five legs, and will use solar panels on its roof to power up. The warm climate in the city of Xiamen makes the solar panel array on the roof even more applicable and efficient.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThe building will have three levels, ground floor with a landscaped public, amphitheatres, open sports fields and meeting spaces, the middle level with exhibition spaces, cafes, restaurants and offices and the roof level housing artificial landscaping.
