Näyttelykokonaisuus

Näyttelykokonaisuus refers to a comprehensive exhibition unit or a complete exhibition arrangement in Finnish. It encompasses all the elements that together form a cohesive and unified exhibition experience. This includes not only the artworks or artifacts being displayed but also the physical space, the display methods, lighting, sound, textual information, and any interactive components. The term emphasizes the holistic nature of an exhibition, where each part contributes to the overall message, atmosphere, and visitor engagement.

A well-designed näyttelykokonaisuus aims to guide the visitor's journey through the exhibition, facilitating understanding and appreciation of the presented content. It considers the flow of people, the placement of objects, the visual design of the space, and the narrative that unfolds as the visitor progresses. The goal is to create a meaningful and memorable experience that goes beyond simply presenting individual items. It reflects the curator's vision and the exhibition designer's expertise in translating that vision into a tangible reality. The success of a näyttelykokonaisuus is often judged by its ability to communicate effectively and resonate with its intended audience.
