Abstract

Is an art museum a sacred place? A museum as a purpose-built institution, which started to be actively erected to display and store artworks since the 19th century, has transformed into a place that symbolizes "cultural sacredness,’ separating itself from the profane surroundings. In this paper, it is inferred that the boundary that distinguishes the sacred from the profane may consist of multi-layers. Entitled as a multi-layered transitional boundary, this boundary is judged to trigger a gradual transition rather than a radical and instantaneous shift between the sacred and the profane. In the case of an art museum, its elevation is viewed as a multi-layered transitional boundary between the exterior and the interior. Selected layers of this boundary inherent in the elevations of the Altes Museum is analyzed and compared to that of the Centre Pompidou.
