Abstract

The design of museum exhibitions, through the integration of art and technology, creates a bridge between history and the present, enabling the transmission of cultural memory and the promotion of civilizational values. The Gansu Jiandu Museum, known for housing the largest collection of Han dynasty wooden and bamboo slips in China, serves as the focus of this analysis. This paper begins with an overview of the museum's general situation, followed by an in-depth analysis of the content design across its four exhibition halls. It further investigates the museum’s design in terms of spatial layout, artifact display methods, lighting effects, color schemes, and audience experience and interaction. The purpose of this study is to provide valuable insights for the future optimization and development of exhibition design at the Gansu Jiandu Museum.
