My top three favorite exhibitions:

Museum of the Future, Dubai.

The exhibition creates an experience of traveling to the future with an interactive experience of traveling to space and discovering new worlds, witnessing the wonders of nature, exploring the library of life of natural habitats, reviving your body's senses, and exploring new technological inventions.

Guggenheim Museum, New York City.

The museum has a very unique layout. The main exhibition is located by the perimeter of the building, and the visitors keep going in circles while climbing up the floors. There is a different perspective on the glass ceiling and exhibition space from every level of the museum.

Museum of Natural History, Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation, New York City.

The Museum of Natural History has recently opened a new wing that connects to the original building through all four floors and offers interactive spaces including an insectarium, butterfly vivarium, floor-to-ceiling collections displays, and more. It also has many educational auditoriums for younger visitors.

What makes these places outstanding?

I think all of three museum buildings have a lot of open space, high ceilings, and natural light. There’s no feeling of being trapped in a small room with other people trying to explore the exhibition. Each of the buildings had a comfortable temperature and fresh air (so people don’t feel sleepy like it usually happens in museums or exhibitions). Moreover, there was easy access to tap water and restrooms. Finally, and probably the most important for my impression, an inspiring interior and exterior design of the building that is directly connected to the museum/exhibition theme. I feel like all of these spaces make you excited and interested to explore before you even enter the building.
