Museums

  In the eighteenth session we talked about museums. There are so many factors that should be considered in designing museums. The amount of sunlight in is very crucial. Preserving artwork or historical objects are the main responsibility of museums. So all design must be in a way to fulfill this task.

 Also, we watched a movie about Holocaust museum. That museum was very interesting. I interested in getting more information about it. So I searched for some more videos about that museum.

  I found architecture and the way that all things were displayed very attractive. You can talk with people who survived from those days in the museum. You can listen to some recorded voice to get information. Also, the idea that people can light some candles in the second floor as memorial of all holocaust victims was very interesting too.

  Museums used to be passive places. In the past they mostly just displayed objects, but these kinds of museums that get visitors involved in the design and objects are very intriguing. These kinds of museums can attract different kinds of people from around the world.
