In context of that facts, there are certain types of delivery techniques used to demonstrate and delivery the information that are needed to know by new generation. And museums traditionally have transferred the collections-based through a variety of media presentation in the exhibition. Therefore, a few exhibitions are failed in gaining the visitors attention, engagement, interaction and further experiences. This moreover giving another effect where the richness of collections and all knowledge in the world will not grow and further are not appreciated by new generation. Towards this, in preparing an exhibition design for a museum is highly required the team to know not only the right visual elements in order to engage with the visitors but also understanding space, material and techniques. Thus, by examining the complexity of the design process of museum exhibition particularly on interface design production and techniques of exhibition, the outcomes will be significantly be a best-practiced for future museum exhibition performance in helping the shaping of knowledge for community.
