Abstract

The article raises the issue of adapting the space of historic buildings for exhibition installations, as the exhibition is one of the modern effective ways to demonstrate the cultural and historical heritage of society. Historical monuments are a valuable architectural heritage, so when designing an exhibition space in them, it is necessary to take into account all aspects that will ensure the preservation of the building’s authenticity. The purpose of the article is to study and analyse the methods of designing exhibition halls in 20th-century buildings. The following methods are used: the historical method, the method of comparative analysis, and the systematic method. The study found that exhibition design is one of the most influential management tools in the process of gaining new experiences in galleries, museums, and art centers. Exhibits have a significant impact on the development of socio-political, historical, cultural, educational, and other sectors. The creation of a museum exhibition should be based on a preliminary design. The designer should take into account all technical, scientific, and artistic aspects of the task and offer a successful solution for the presentation of exhibits. Depending on the thematic focus of the exhibition, other specialists should be involved in each stage of design: curators, art historians, and management. The features of creating an exhibition design in historical buildings of the 20th century were considered. The artistic movements that emerged in the 20th century are analysed and characterised, and their influence on exhibition design is revealed. The main stages of the development of exhibition design, the emergence of multimedia technologies and their impact on the audience’s perception of exhibits are identified. The features of designing in historical buildings are described, aspects of harmonious combination of design with the environment of the existing building are considered. Examples of creating museums in historical monuments are found. The types of exhibition spaces and classification of exhibitions are analysed. The fundamental means of building a spatial composition are described. The practical value of the study is that the information can be used to write future research papers on the topic of exhibition design. The information obtained can be used to create design projects for exhibition halls
