ABSTRACT
In recent years there has been a growing demand for museums due to an increase in cultural interest among visitors, and extensions are being carried out more frequently for older museums built due to an increase in the number of collections. However, not enough precedent studies regarding the extension of a museum have been carried out. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish preliminary data that will assist in constructing a museum in the future by analyzing the change in space composition, targeting actual museums that have been extended recently. The result of this study is as follows. The ratio of exhibition space, storage space, and common use space among the space composition ratio of museums that have been extended recently is increasing. Notably, the ratio occupied by experiential space is higher after extension, indicating that experiential space has become more important. The length of the visitor circulation path was also affected due to the increase of the area before and after the museum extension. However, an increase in the length of the visitor circulation path may result in a drop in the visitors’ concentration, and a rest area has become more important as an approach to addressing such issue. This study has significance as a basic study on the spatial analysis before and after the museum extension. However, this study has the limitation of not reflecting the visitors’ psychology in the analysis method, and future research should address this.
