HISTORICAL ART MUSEUM// MUHAMMET ŞÜKRÜ ŞAHİNER
The Historical Art Museum project in Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Millet Bahçesi is an innovative architectural venture centered around the concept of axial lines. This design places the museum at the intersection of two main axes, enabling visitors to explore diverse branches of art in a cohesive setting. Located in a high-traffic area of the park, the museum also serves as a cultural hub, complementing the nearby library.
Concept and Design
The museum's design leverages the convergence of two primary axes, creating a central focus and a coherent layout. These axes branch into four main galleries dedicated to different art forms: sculpture, music, dance, and painting. At the intersection of these axes is a central water park, providing a tranquil and visually appealing focal point for relaxation and reflection.
Sculpture Gallery
The Sculpture Gallery features a diverse collection of historical and contemporary sculptures. The gallery highlights the intricate craftsmanship and creative expression in sculptural art from various cultures and periods, offering insights into its evolution and significance.
Painting Exhibition
The Painting Exhibition showcases masterpieces from renowned artists worldwide, spanning styles from classical to modern. Informative plaques accompany each piece, helping visitors understand the historical development and thematic diversity of painting.
Music Hall
The Music Hall celebrates musical heritage with exhibits on musical instruments, famous composers, and musical genres. Interactive displays and listening stations allow visitors to experience music from different eras and cultures, enhancing their appreciation of music as a universal language.
Performing Arts Theater
The Performing Arts Theater is designed for live performances, including theater, dance, and music. This acoustically optimized space showcases dynamic artistic expressions, providing a vibrant platform for performing arts.
Functional Spaces
Essential functional areas, such as an information room, storage, and security facilities, are located at the museum's entrance. These spaces ensure the museum's smooth operation and provide necessary information and services for visitors.
Outdoor and Semi-Open Spaces
The project includes various outdoor and semi-open spaces, such as walking paths and seating areas, integrated into the landscape. These areas allow visitors to enjoy the park's natural surroundings and offer a blend of indoor and outdoor experiences close to nature.
Central Water Park
A central water park, located at the main axes' intersection, serves as a focal point and a peaceful retreat. The park features water elements and shaded seating areas, enhancing the ambiance and providing a relaxing space for visitors.
This project aims to offer visitors a rich artistic experience, highlighting the universal value and historical significance of art. The museum's thoughtfully designed sections provide an immersive journey into various art forms within the serene environment of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Millet Bahçesi.
