Abstract The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial transformational patterns according to the spectator and the exhibition environment and to examine the role of ‘the middle space’ organically linking the exhibition space with MoA which is a representative example of ‘sequential exhibition space’. The concept of sequential exhibition space in MoA is applied not only to building but also to extended continental concepts including neighborhood. MoA's exhibition space consists of the library area and the exhibition area. In particular, the spaces of library area perform a complex function as a quasi-exhibition space, and the exhibition spaces have variable spatial transformation through an associated structure of the library area and the educational area. The types of exhibition space those constitute the sequential exhibition space of MoA appear as ‘Room type’, ‘Free plan type’, and ‘Gallery type’. Each exhibition space maintains independence, but it is changed according to the situation of exhibition. The flow is based on the spiral induction around the central void space, but with selective circulation considering the visitors. Therefore, through the transformation of the exhibition area and the division of the flow, the whole museum space appears as the area differentiation.
