In the last century, museums have evolved. According to "Building Design + Construction" magazine, museums are no longer just for the "upper levels of society". The museum itself, including the architecture and display design, has become an art.
Major components in the design of museums are retail and restaurants. People want well designed places to shop, along with interesting items to purchase. They also want attractive places to stop and eat. This restaurant uses unique ceiling pieces and a gallery wall to welcome hungry museum goers at the San Francisco museum of modern art.
The main lobby and entrance are the most important design element as they greet the visitors first. An excellent example of this is the main lobby at Milwaukee Museum of Art.
Flexible gallery spaces allow for versatile uses of the building and create possibilities for new and unique exhibits. "In the MoG, the HVAC is a continuous linear system, which enables a room to be properly serviced even when divided" (Building Design + Construction).
Outdoor art and landscaping is becoming a trend in most museums. Here you see only a fraction of the outdoor space at the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth.
