The Study On The Inside And Outside Exhibition Space Design Of The Geological Museum

The geological museum is based on geologic science contents. Also, the geological museum is a professional natural science museum, which plays a role in collecting and protecting geological specimens and other kind of related information, investigating and studying the geological collections, and spreading geo-scientific knowledge. It is useful for promoting the local economy, culture, tourism, the sustainable development of the society.The geological museum is an important part of the economic, cultural and ecological construction in a region or city. From the surface, the geological museum building is one of the significant measure of the city’s image; from the connotation, scientific and reasonable preservation of the geological museum exhibits are the protection of ecological resources and recycling, and excellent geological museum displays are helpful to attract public’s participation to museum construction, rich audience to learn geological knowledge, improve the public’s environmental protection consciousness, and to better achieve the social education function of museum.Today, the geological museum has been like a social organism which has the functions of science education, scientific research, entertainment and artistic appreciation. In the process of development, of course, there are also many challenges, such as:improper siting, the architecture of museum is isolated with the surrounding environment, too specialized exhibition information, exhibition projects lack of interaction and social service function needs to be strengthened. This paper to geological museum in the city as the research object, meanwhile, combines two real cases, and then use the knowledge of cultural heritage and museology, geology, architecture, landscape science, communication and psychology, which aim at doing a preliminary study on the inside and outside space design of urban geological museums, discussing the methods to solve these problems, hoping that I can work for China’s geological museums in my little way.First, the paper gives a review of the China geological museum’s development, at the same time, describes the concept, characters, classification, functions and effects of the geological museum. Then, leading to the topic, it does a further study of geological museum’s inside and outside exhibition space design, which makes a all-round and multiple analysis from site selection, design concepts, design principles, style design, layout, inside and outside function division, lighting design, color design and traffic service space. Moreover, the discussion is focused on "interactive experience designs" which reflect the service principle of "people first". Finally, around the theme "the inside and outside exhibition space design", the paper makes an analysis with Anhui Geological Museum and Shanghai Natural History Museum combining the theory and practice.The paper holds a hope that we can study the best design concepts, methods and programs of the geological museum’s exhibition space design basing on the present and looking to the future. At the same time, we have to know, the inside and outside exhibition space design is just a part of completing the geological museum jobs. Also, The development of the geological museum can’t stay in their own circles, it is necessary for keeping pace with the times, taking the initiative to "go out":use the public media, interpersonal communication media, physical media, outdoor media and the internet information technology reasonably, which leads to complete dissemination and promotion of the geological museum. All that can be contributed to providing a better development platform for the China’s geological museum, creating a bright future and promoting the sound and fast development of the geological museum.
