Museum Design

We visited the Washington State University Art Museum. The curator spoke to us about the pieces and interior design of the museum.

CIRCULATION

Interior designers determine the direction and flow of circulation.
  • This can be accomplished by placing dividers or walls that guide people to go a certain direction. Art pieces could also be used as a focal point that encourages people to walk around the museum.
LIGHTING

Important to emphasize and showcase pieces.

VERSATILITY

Museum should be flexible to accommodate different exhibitions and pieces.

Every exhibition is designed differently.

POSITIONING

Positioning of art pieces important, especially large three-dimensional pieces that can influence circulation.
