Museum of Islamic Civilizations | do[x]architecture

The Museum of Islamic Civilizations (MIC), which was created to exhibit the artefacts brought together in the context of Islamic Civilizations, was opened to visitors on April 8th 2022 in Çamlıca, Istanbul, Turkey. The Museum of Islamic Civilizations is part of the complex of Great Çamlıca Mosque. The project comprises the interior design of the museum and exhibition design, the scenography and designing  ancillary spaces of the museum, such as cafe, museum shop, wc etc. Designed in two stages, the first stage of the project included the creation of an exhibition scenario by determining the titles and sections of the exhibition, and the latter consisted of the implementation of this scenario by forming the museum's scheme. Afterward the interior and other spaces of the museum and exhibition were designed. At this stage, together with the interior design of the museum, the layouts of the museum showcases, the content and layout of the graphic narratives throughout the entire exhibition space, and the contents and places of the interactive and digital storytelling in the space were determined. In the second stage, in line with the finalized inventory work, the positions and placements of all the artefacts in the showcase were defined, with the design of their pedestals and exhibition apparatus. In addition, the color and material selections of the area where they would be exhibited were decided for each artefact.
