JAKARTA - Some people usually visit the museum to collect historical items in that place. It is true, the function of the museum is to store historical objects. This makes many tourists interested in visiting the museum so they can see the object directly.

However, many museums in the world are not only superior in storing valuables. They also have a unique architecture that is suitable for tourists to visit who like aesthetic buildings. Here are five museums with unique architectural styles in the world, according to Art News and HighEnd, Friday, November 25.

This sun-filled museum is located at the University of California and designed by Dutch architect and Harvard professor Florian Idenburg. The main focus point of the building is a wavy canopy consisting of a stretched aluminum beam lattice flowing on the roof and also overseeing some of the outside space. The designer team said that the canopy pattern was inspired by agricultural fields surrounding the northern California campus.

The museum, which was just opened in 2019 and located in the city of Eskisehir, is home to Turkey's modern art collection Erol Tabanca. In this museum, there are also frequent temporary art exhibitions. Museum buildings are made of wood because they are inspired by traditional Ottoman wooden houses.

Designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates, this museum looks similar to an elegant wooden cabin. With the box structure locking each other and consisting of stacked wooden blocks highlighting a gap similar to the Lincoln Log's wooden game.

The Louvre Museum is not only known for its Monalisa painting. However, the Louvre is also known to have a unique and iconic architecture. This large pyramid that became a building from this museum became one of the icons of the city of Paris. This 4-story museum with a building area of 72.735 meters stores 32,000 paintings, so it's no wonder that many tourists spend all day visiting the Louvre.

Not far from the Louvre museum, you also enjoy the uniqueness of the museum in France. La Cite Du Vin, which is located in Bordeaux, is a museum of the design of a famous architect, Nicolas De Mezieres, who is known as an architect who has extraordinary ideas. This wine museum does have a unique building design because it almost resembles the wine spins that are set.

The museum, which is located in Singapore, has a building area of 5000 M square. The architecture, which resembles the lotus flower, makes Artscience crowded with tourists. Of course, the purpose of the architect to build a lotus flower-shaped building is not just to look unique. But the roof of this Artscience museum can accommodate rain which will later be channeled through water features for waterfalls.
