Concept + User Experience

The Museum of the Universe is designed as an immersive spatial journey, transforming learning into experience. Visitors move from grounded, research based environments into increasingly atmospheric and abstract environments, using light, projection, and digital interaction. The concept explores themes of curiosity, imagination, and the sublime, allowing users to engage with the universe through both physical space and virtual experiences. The museum becomes a narrative, where each stage reveals a deeper level of exploration.

The museum is designed to engage a diverse audience, including school groups, university students, families, and city visitors, supporting both educational and leisure experiences. The spatial design is centred around an immersive journey, guiding users from structured learning environments into interactive and atmospheric spaces. Through a combination of physical exploration and digital interaction, the experience encourages curiosity, participation, and a deeper connection to the universe. A typical visit lasts approximately 1.5-2 hours, allowing visitors to explore the exhibitions at their own pace. The planetarium show runs separately, with an average duration of 20-30 minutes, offering a focused and immersive experience. The museum operates on an accessible pricing system, with reduced rates for students, children, and senior visitors. The planetarium show is included in the general admission ticket, ensuring a seamless and inclusive experience.
