DESCRIPTION


The Sleep Museum tries to answer questions like what is good sleep, how to sleep well and how to reacquire good physical and psychological conditions. It offers the audience the wisdom of keeping harmony between man and nature, which originated from traditional Chinese culture and inspired the walk-in scene Sleep Comfortably by Streams in the Forest.

Highlights

Sleep Comfortably by Streams in the Forest


1.Space reconstruction and cultural environment creation. The room in the factory, with a floor height of 24 metres, was turned into a cultural space with oriental styles. The reconstruction successfully connects the space inside and outside the painting.
2.Precise measurement. The bearing capacity was carefully measured in order to keep the audience and the car park safe.
3.Extensive space. The scene makes use of the 13.5 metres sight distance to combine the 3D scenery and 2D images.
4.Maximum usage. The space behind the scene was skillfully used as an exhibition space.

The Sleep Museum mainly includes the entrance room with the scene of Sleep Comfortably by Streams in the Forest, the hall of The Science of Sleep, the hall of The Sleep Culture and the hall of Heye the Company. These halls are designed with, including but not limited to, the ideas and principles mentioned above. Combined with elements of art and science, the museum provides knowledge of health with Eastern wisdom and Western Science through the communication between the past and the present. To expand accessibility, the walk-in scene, immersive spaces and elegantly designed panels are used to present information on healthy sleep, making the museum popular among young people. Today, the museum has been considered a must-see destination. We are glad that our attempt is successful.
