Description
The Museum consists of a four-storey enclosure housing the exhibition areas with maximum flexibility, and a large open-air elevated plaza. An administration block which houses the museum offices and support areas is attached to the main building.
The heart of the project is the open-air plaza which is enclosed on three sides upon the completion of all phases.
The building is a container for exhibits, the open-air plaza is also a container for outdoor exhibits, and forms the focal point to announce visually the significance of the development to the public.
