The Arch Museum

The Arch Museum

The beauty, awe and excitement that captivates children when they visit galleries and museums, their constant need to touch, feel and smell the objects that are on display, is insatiable. However, as children mature into adulthood, their playfulness, excitement and curiosity are no longer as apparent when visiting museums, dissipated, as they have grown to act accordingly in a serious space. As a result, the playful nature of architecture with an intensive study on arches and their monumental status is a focal aspect of this project, aiming to revive the inner child in all adults.
