Abstract This study aims to investigate the spatial structure of the memorial in terms of experiential space, targeting the ‘narrative memorial’, which has its own unique identity. The narrative memorial, which has a defined path to deliver story of the events through space, has a different order of experience different to the order of floor plan, so it is necessary to understand the space structure from the perspective of the visitor's experience. Therefore, the research was conducted by using 'visitor journey map' originated from 'customer (user) journey map' which has been widely used in the service design field to check the actual experience of users in the entire process of using specific products or services. The selected memorials for the research are US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem Holocaust history museum, and Jewish museum Berlin, which are representative of the modern memorial. The main spatial structure of narrative memorial found in terms of experiential space is as follows: 1. Intersecting structure of emotional experience space and practical educational space that are repeatedly experienced, 2. Emotional experience space that forms step-by-step experiences, 3. The role of a connecting space that allows the memorial to become a background itself telling the story of event, 4. a spatial experience that forms different meanings according to the experience stage even in the same space, 5. a transitional space that generates a staged background change. In summary, in the narrative memorial, all spaces participate in the story of an event commemorated, and these experience spaces are repeatedly experienced with each other, forming a staged experience structure based on the intersection of experiences as a whole. In this way, it can be confirmed that the story and emotional experience of the event conveyed in the memorial are consistently delivered to the visitor, and the memorial acts as a medium of memory to be told as the space itself.
