The building of a museum is much more than a grand architectural project; it is more like the making of a piece of art in the right place at the right time. MUSEUM DESIGN showcases 46 beautifully designed museums from around the world that demonstrate extraordinary architectural creativity. Each project is presented with descriptive texts, supporting color illustrations and plans. This generously illustrated book is highlighted with insightful views of accomplished architects on how regional culture and local geography influence the design and construction of a museum. Those passionate about museums, culture and architecture will be richly inspired by this publication.
