Concepts for Wayfinding in the Natural History Museum





I think these would definitely make things easier if you lost your way for many reasons;

1) People appear to recognize and remember colors quicker and better than words, hence the color-coded floors
2) Pictures can send the message to someone's brain faster than 4 or 5 words in a short sentence, so people will be able to find what they're looking for in the museum faster. 
3) Aerial view maps with your current location marked within them make it easier to distinguish the route to which you will arrive at your destination using "landmarks" within the museum that you can see from your location. 
4) Color coded maps with easily recognized symbols help you, should you lose your way. 

Enjoy.
