About the project
The Living Archive of Public Health Wisdom
Health Museum is a conceptual exhibition and environmental graphic design project developed for the Department of Health (DOH). The challenge of the project was to transform complex public health information accumulated over more than 100 years into an engaging, emotionally accessible, and easy-to-understand visitor experience.
Rather than presenting medical knowledge through traditional displays, the design approach reimagines the museum as a narrative-driven learning environment where information becomes part of an immersive spatial journey. The project focuses on improving Health Literacy by using storytelling, environmental graphics, exhibition zoning, and interactive experiences to help visitors connect health knowledge with everyday life.
My role involved developing the overall exhibition concept, spatial narrative, visual identity system, zoning structure, and communication design direction to create a cohesive visitor experience throughout the museum.

Designing Through 'the Human Life Cycle'
The core concept, “Story of Life — From Birth till Death,” was created to solve one key challenge: making public health education feel relatable, engaging, and easy to understand for visitors of all ages.
To achieve this, the exhibition journey was designed around the universal cycle of human life — birth, childhood, adulthood, aging, and death — allowing visitors to emotionally connect with each exhibition zone through familiar life experiences and personal reflection.
The museum is divided into 9 interconnected zones, carefully planned as a continuous narrative journey from Zone 1 to Zone 9. Rather than functioning as separate educational sections, each space is sequentially connected to guide visitors through the natural progression of life and health. The journey begins with an immersive introduction to Health Literacy, childhood development, active living, elderly wellbeing, and finally a contemplative space exploring death as a natural part of life.
A key design consideration was the visitor flow and learning experience. Since the primary audience includes students on educational field trips and family visitors, the circulation was intentionally designed to make complex health information feel approachable and easy to digest. By organizing the content as a chronological life journey, visitors can intuitively absorb information step-by-step while maintaining curiosity and emotional engagement throughout the exhibition.
This storytelling-based spatial flow transforms public health education into a more human-centered experience — encouraging deeper understanding, stronger emotional connection, and more memorable learning outcomes.
