One of my favorite exhibition spaces I have visited is the Louvre in Paris. Everyone knows it by its iconic glass pyramids, partially surrounded by water, located in the middle of the courtyard. Good exhibition spaces need something like this to stand out and become easily recognized. Having the larger pyramid double as the main entrance to the museum attracts people to visit. The smaller pyramid also has an inverted upside-down pyramid in the lower level of the museum, where visitors can get up close. On the ground floor, the buildings surrounding the courtyard, which hold the artwork, are also very beautiful with a facade that looks castle like. Something that makes the space so pleasurable to be in are its tall ceilings and wide rooms that are lines with art pieces. The decorated ceilings make it feel like the room goes on forever. Another cool aspect is that the different rooms in the Louvre look different and seem to match the style of the art.
The Seattle Space Needle is a cool exhibition space I have visited and also thoroughly enjoyed. It has 360 degree views offered at 520 feet in the air. Its shape is also iconic with a needle and light sticking out of the saucer shaped observation deck. Some things that make it stick out are the revolving glass floor of the space. This invites people to lay down and take selfies of the views below them and take panoramic videos. There is also an open air space on the outer edge of the tower that has slanted glass walls leaning over the edge. Another unique thing about the space tower is that there is a restaurant located at the top with incredible views. The amazing space brings people in to learn about the story behind how the tower was built and explain how it was a big engineering feat.
