Museum Design

A museum is an institution and often a building that houses and cares for a collection of objects with historical, artistic or scientific significance. Nearly all of us have visited one at some point, and what made the biggest impression on us was likely the art hanging on the walls, or the butterflies carefully arranged in glass cases. When visiting certain museums, however, the building itself might make the greatest impact; such is the case with many of the world's best-loved museums. Visionary architects from around the world have collaborated on the museums we've featured in our photo gallery, which represent just a small portion of the unique building across the world where priceless works of art and fascinating exhibits are housed.
