The Museum tells the story of Oman throughout the ages, including the renaissance period and has a dedicated exhibition area on the future development of the country.
Our design took inspiration from the angular architectural language and the rocky formations of the main Omani mountain range.
Given the vast scale of the main exhibition and circulation spaces, the wayfinding was designed to form an intermediate layer, negotiating between the architectural scale and the tangible, human scale.
It’s formal expression is based on analysing the distinct geometric language of the building and using that to inform the shape and size of wayfinding elements, including the graphic language. The result is a wayfinding scheme that is an integral part of the architecture.
