Changes in the functional and spatial development of the architecture of contemporary museum object AB - The dynamic development of computer technologies and multimedia systems has changed the way we learn about the world around us. Museums have undergone transformations, in which digital resources and multimedia exhibitions intensively supplant the 20th-century presentation methods based on passive contemplation. Contemporary exhibitions are spaces focused on evoking specific experiences, attractive to the recipient thanks to their immersion and interactivity, using multimedia and narrative structure. The article describes the observed changes and trends in the design of exhibitions and buildings in relation to the evolution of museum institutions. Objects constructed or designed over the past two decades have been presented, with particular attention devoted to new museums in Poland. The conducted analysis confirms that the museum object – its place in the city space, the architectural design of the functional arrangement, as well as the exhibition areas and the arrangement of the exhibitions themselves is evolving in parallel with changing technologies and new social needs.
