• A museum has specific functions different from other kinds of
buildings. Museum space follows function and its interior space should respond to and go well with its exhibitions. • In addition, the exhibitions, presentations and displays should be interesting and interactive. The architecture should communicate scientific feeling and thought to the visitors. • GENERAL STUDY OF MUSEUM PLANNING ♦ Various definitions ♦ Site selection ♦ Zoning ♦ Evolution of museum space (Foreign & Indian context) ♦ Museum circulation ♦ Type of Exhibits ♦ Type of Display ♦ Lighting ♦ Services ISSUES IN MUSEUM PLANNING (Through various case studies) • The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is the largest government institution in-charge of monuments of national importance. These monuments and sites have vast quantities of antiquarian remains that were unearthed and collected at archaeological sites across India by ASI. Archaeological Survey of India [ASI] has prescribed set of guide lines for planning a museum. Six pillars of museum management identified offer a stable, long lasting framework to prepare the guidelines for ASI museum: 1. Research and Dissemination 2. Preservation and Conservation 3. Interpretation and Presentation 4. Education and Outreach 5. Visitor Services and Amenities 6. Administration and Managemen • 1. The building’s ambience should be maintained inside as well as outside. Landscaping around the building should be developed in a way that it complements the experience within the museum. 2. Aesthetic choices support and reflect the theme and tone of the exhibition. 3. Orientation, spatial organization, and traffic flow are appropriate to the goals of the exhibition. 4. The physical space (such as layout, lighting, flooring) is created in such a way that audience members of varying physical sizes and abilities are able to navigate and interact with the exhibition. 5. If required audio-visual footage, voice recordings, ambiance music etc. may also be used for creating a complete experience. Other than following ASI guidelines for museum planning, the local building development control rules also to be followed, the museum comes under institutional buildings category in DCR [ Development Control Rules ]. • ZONING OF A MUSEUM Zoning as a museum Planning Tool. In the practice or designing the zoning can be arranged as • Public Collection Areas: Zone with environmental controls and security designed for the preservation of collections. • Non Public Areas: Zone which is meant for the staff alone with environment controls and security. • Public Non-collection Areas: Zone in which the finish and durability and environment created for human comforts. • Non Public-Collection Areas: Zone in which the finish and durability and environment created for the staffs alone. • CLIMATE The Building should be oriented in such a way it gets a natural benefits for all seasons. Proper shading devices designed for controlling natural light glare over the displays. Avoid drastic changes in humidity and temperature at all times. As a general rule, temperature and humidity guidelines set for storage areas are appropriate for exhibit gallery areas as well. If the exhibit gallery contains a door used by the public to enter and exit the museum, do not put artifacts near the door in order to avoid extreme changes in temperature and humidity. The Light levels in storage: Brightness and UV levels are damaging to collections and should be controlled. Cover all lights with UV filters, especially florescent tubes. Refrain from storing any artifact in an area with sunlight
