The New extension of the Statens Art Museum designed by the architectural firm Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter seeks to transform the former warehouse, Doverodde Købmandsgård, the former silo and the surrounding scenic landscape.
The most specific museum use will be in the old warehouse and silo. The architects propose a similar structural approach in the transformation of these two: a new museum within the existing walls, where a stable indoor climate, sensitive and protective facilities and low energy consumption will be established.
The café and restaurant will be located in the former Købmandsgården. The administration building, a new construction building, will be located in the pediment, near the museum and the new entrance.

The Nordea Foundation has awarded DKK 53.4 million to The Nature Village, these funds go towards construction and support activities during the first five years of operation.
The project at Doverodde Købmandsgård, in Thisted, will serve to manage the town's purpose-built features and outdoor activities, providing a place for education. It will serve as a platform for the area's many nature and outdoor associations, as well as nature, culture and outdoor guides, allowing them to create communities in the beautiful surroundings of Thy.
“Doverodde is a truly special place and with Nature Village we have a unique meeting place where people can come together to enjoy outdoor activities, nature, culture and environmental education. Here, associations, locals and visitors from all over the world "The country will be able to be part of various communities in beautiful and nature-rich environments. We believe this contributes to creating fuller lives. At the Nordea Foundation, we are proud to be part of turning these great ambitions into reality."
