Museums are designed to make artwork feel special and keep the viewer’s gaze on. The experience is shaped by carefully lit rooms, subtle warm lighting and regal framing that gives every piece a sense of importance. To recreate that feeling digitally, I paired a dark background with warm cream tones, creating a refined, gallery-like environment where each painting naturally becomes the focal point.

Typography played a big role in shaping the experience. EB Garamond evokes the nostalgia of reading storybooks when our parents would lock us in a room with just books as the viewer would read Orpheus' story, Inter creates a timeless and elegant museum feel and IBM Plex Mono subtly adds a modern touch.

The biggest challenge was reimagining the museum experience for a digital space without losing the qualities that make visiting one feel so distinct. I wanted to elevate it into something more immersive, modern and interactive, while still preserving the familiar feeling of moving from room to room, pausing to study each painting and slowly learning the history behind the work. Here are some of my early ideas before I toned it down.
