National War Museum

Abstract

Man tends to weave relationships with his surroundings; he grasps vital relations to bring order into his world, adapting physiologically in the process. Human actions have a spatial aspect attached to them that are related to orientation and existence. Relationships like inside and outside, near and far away, above and below are spatial qualities that explain orientation. Man associates these with his daily activities such that space becomes part of his existence, building a mutually adaptive association with the human body Museums play a significant role in commemoration. Museums of war act as memorials to those who were killed or served in war. War museums through their depiction of soldiers, their portrayal of death and technology plays a part in creating a sanitised version of the past. Their displays confer legitimacy on specific interpretations of history, and attribute significance to particular events. Many museums have faced reduced exhibition space and devoted themselves to providing various services for visitors. To achieve the objective of information sharing, all the museums have endeavoured to present the exhibition contents and services and developed the new form of “aesthetic service of museums” through various services and designs. Museums have overcome various barriers.
