Background: Time and space are essential elements in our understanding of the real world. The structure of time and space is the foundation of the cognitive system. The museum, as a unique public space, put facts, memories, and imagination in the physical space. It can form a space beyond the time dimension with a strong attention. A particular part of the brain is called the hippocampus, which is used to sense abstract concepts such as time and space. Focus: This paper mainly studies the time perception and spatial cognition in human cognition, and selects the most critical timelines and space layout from the exhibitions for in-depth analysis. Discuss what the time perception and space cognition are in the exhibition, and understand the relationship between them. Objective: The aim is to clarify the impact of these relationships on museum visitors and to help designers create a better museum experience for visitors. Method: We use literature study,case-study, user interviews, and shadowing research methods to produce our research. Conclusion: Three kinds of spatial and temporal planning patterns, which consist of time clues and space layout in a museum exhibition, have a significant influence on visitors" spatial and temporal cognition.
