Monumental Art in Museum Design
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: As a result of the conducted research, it can be asserted that the use of monumental art in museums unites various art forms - mural, mosaic, sculpture, and others that integrate into the architectural environment and create a unified, powerful aesthetic and ideological impact. It also serves educational and ideological purposes, especially in the preservation of cultural values and historical memory among the public. The application of monumental art in museum design highlights our cultural heritage and history, making them impressive and educational. The design of museums through monumental art also represents an interesting fusion: on one hand, it shapes the environment, while on the other, it can become an artist's masterpiece, providing the visitor with a dual impression and aesthetic pleasure. Some examples indicate that monumental art pieces in the artistic design of a museum can also serve as independent works of art. However, it should be noted that if the museum ceases its activities and another organization starts operating in the same space, there is a high risk that the existence of the monumental artwork in the museum will be endangered, as these designs reflect the core activities of the museum or house-museum. Thus, monumental art pieces present in museum designs are vulnerable in terms of their future preservation, and it is necessary to develop a specific procedure for the preservation of monumental artworks in both museum and other artistic designs in the event of the museum's closure.
