In recent years, due to China's rapid economic growth, museum construction has been forming the second peak since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The main content includes: the definition, functions, and classification of museums; the site selection for museum architecture; the creative and conceptual approaches to architectural design; the basic composition, functions, and circulation of museum architecture; the overall layout, floor plan design, spatial design, and lighting environment design of museum architecture; the exhibition and display of museums, architectural form design, expansion design, and 55 classic domestic and international cases.
