The display of cultural objects now utilise virtual navigation techniques, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and the internet, with an aim of enriching the museum experience for visitors. This trend has influenced museum development and user behaviour. Architectural design plays a vital role in linking interactive learning and traditional displays in heritage museums.
