| Abstract |
This study traces the flow of modern museum architecture from the 18th to 19th century when the rationalist architectural spirit influenced
the museum architecture to the 1930s, before the museums of the modern architectural masters appeared. With early modern museums until
the 1930s as a target, which had long been enshrined in classicality, finally contributed to narrowing the gap with the times, but did not
receive the right evaluation, this study examines their different architectural styles from previous museums and reveals that they have a
significance to announce the departure of modern museums beyond classical ones. The three museums, built in the 1930s, will be identified
as respectable early modern museums that will fill the remaining blank space of the history of museum architecture.
In this study, modern museums are asymmetric, non-centre oriented, and non decorative. They have multi-directional circulation, and a
neutral, open and flexible exhibition space. They also try to align themselves with the modern architectural tendency of the day. |
