Introduction

Datong Museum is a beautiful second-class museum, whose exterior design combines dragon culture, grotto culture and local landform features, highlighting the characteristics of regional culture. The architectural form adopts a radial spiral structure composed of two arcs, and the ridge line on the form reinforces the visual effect of the building. The exterior of the building echoes with the interior space, and the exhibition hall's roof forms a tensile and peculiar spatial form. In the central hall, there is a dynamic arc-shaped sky bridge and sunken steps, forming a grand and majestic internal space. This museum is undoubtedly a cultural masterpiece worth visiting.
