The present, temporary building of the Museum is in an old anti-aircraft shelter from 1942. The six-storey shelter in is 25 m high and with 1.1m-thick walls made from reinforced concrete. In the 1990s and early 2000s the shelter housed shops, warehouses and a pub. In 2010-2011 it underwent a major overhaul.
