The Museum Is a Path

Exhibitions are shaped not only by walls, but also by routes, ramps, and ribbons.

The spiral of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York imposes an architectural sequence on viewing.

MAXXI’s crossing galleries, the Kimbell’s rows of vaults, and Kanazawa’s circular plan each produce a different kind of path.

At Museum SAN, long outdoor routes and courts extend the exhibition beyond the building itself.

This guide focuses not on collection interpretation, but on how the body moves and sees.
