From the Back Cover

Museums are the mental park of cities. In the long period of social development they have been assembled with multi-functions and become an indispensable part of a city. Then as the complex of culture, how do they perfectly combine the architectural design and cultural contents together? In this book are selected 42 excellent projects of museum display all over the world.

The book comprehensively introduces every key point of museum display design, including space division, internal structure, the use of materials, and decorative elements. We believe it would serve as a practical reference for readers and provide some brand new design inspirations.
