Atrium
The SCHUNCK Atrium is the newest extension of the museum, and more specifically the museum gallery. The Atrium was created after covering the patio between the Glaspaleis and the music school with glass. On the eaves of the Atrium are the letters 'Les extrêmes se touchent', the statement freely translated meaning 'the extremes come together'. It is a lasting tribute to Nic. Tummers, honorary citizen of Heerlen, and the love between him and his life partner and sculptor Vera van Hasselt.
