Abstract:

The nature of the visual entries in the environment in which the individual is located is an important factor in the formation of the visual culture. In normal circumstances, the individual is constantly in visual communication within the places where he lives, travels, and where he is. In this process, the organization of stimulating elements based on visual perception directly affects the process of the individual’s perception and understanding of the space. The museums aim to attract the interest of the community; to create cognitive processes for their visitors. Visitor’s visual perception experiences are also an important factor for the educational function in the modern museum understanding. In this study, the aim is to explore the design components that influence the process of perception and understanding of the space and exhibited works in the museums. The work area is limited to the Archaeological Museum of Adana. The factors that stimulate the visual perception within the chosen space are assessed in the context of the work, space and individual relationship. In this context, the effects of the interior elements in the museum experience on the perception of the space and exhibited works have been analyzed.
