Visitors move from front to the back, and from motion to stillness, and the space is laid out like a planned spiral, moving from darkness to light. At the top of the museum, visitors can enjoy views of Laoujunshan mountain.

In this way harmony between light and darkness is achieved and the interior enjoys a gentle light with beautiful particle-like shade.
